"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!

  1. 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!

  5. 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.
