A CASE of Friendship

My daughter and I had a fun afternoon of stamping today. You see, over at Splitcoaststampers, for the Free For All challenge today, Dawn is challenging stampers to a...CASE of Friendship. Now, throughout the years, I have made some super fabulous friends at SCS, and I treasure them dearly. So to choose one to CASE over another would be impossible. However, my daughter and I just happen to be going out to lunch tomorrow with one of my dear, dear friends Pat Smethers, so we decided it would be fun to each choose a card of hers to CASE. I made the first card based on Pat's card found HERE. Pat's gallery just oozes warmth because she stamps from the heart, and shares that heart whenever, and wherever she can. She's a real treasure!!

I LOVED the large sentiment that Pat used against the square dp, and the texture and border of the backgrounds really caught my eye. For my card, I used all Waltzingmouse images creating my own background with the sets Dainty Doilies Large, Say it Loud and Text It. Everything was stamped with Versamark, with the sentiment being embossed with Black and the Doilies and Text with white. I then used the Resist technique and sponged Spun Sugar Ranger Distress Ink over the embossed images. The border was made with All Around Martha Stewart Punches, and I added some Seam Binding ribbon, a button, silver cording and I-Roc Rhinestones.

My daughter, Nichole, took a totally different approach and used darker colors. She knows Pat adores brown, so she purposely chose MME Twinkle, Twinkle Little Boy dp and CASEd the card found HERE. She also used the Dainty Doilies Large set along with the sentiment from Teeny Trees.


She also included the sewing, and added some buttons and silver cording with a rhinestone based on Pat's sweet card.

So that's it ya'll. Hope you're having a fabulous weekend.
Thanks so much for dropping by!
Happy Stamping!
