"Hello Friend" (Again)

I had just a few minutes to be in my stamping area, so I made this card quickly. The embossing was done last summer at our Group Gathering in Des Moines. I'm not even sure who makes the embossing folder. I THINK it's Sizzix, but it could be Stampin' Up! I colored the flower centers and stems with markers. I thought it needed a large sentiment, so I used the "hello FRIEND" stamp from Papertrey Ink that was still on my messy table. The butterflies were punched with Martha Stewart punches out of paper from Die Cuts With a View. I added "bodies" with Liquid Pearls and drew in the antennae.


Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Your added color to the embossing makes this one layer design just POP! I think the embossing folder is by SU, and it says Sizzix on it besides so you are right on both counts. The large sentiment is perfect!

Wow Lynette, this is such a pretty card. I love the coloring on the embossing. The size of the sentiment is perfect.

I love that Sizzix folder that came from SU. (Just thought I'd tell you since I have it too.) You did a super job coloring the stems with a marker. I tried it once but didn't have much luck. I'll have to try it again.

One of my favorites (many of yours are my "favorites!) but how did you have such great success coloring the stems? I must try this again, my first go did not look like this!! Beautiful!!
