F is for Friendship

F is for Friendship. I created this friendship card yesterday for today’s post. Yay! I finally got most of my stamps in the mail. So much fun to play with new rubber! This design uses the new Shady Daisy Backgrounder stamp from Cornish Heritage Farms. I just love the big gorgeous daisy. Backgrounder stamps are so much fun to work with. I’ve always been a huge fan. If you like backgrounders, you’ll want to stay tuned for our CHF Backgrounder Blitz starting next Friday. The Blitz is a week’s worth of challenges for you to play along with. Best of all, we want you to join in on the fun and play along too for chances to win prizes. We’re even letting you know what they are ahead of time so you can fit it into your schedule. Is that great or what? Check it out at Backgrounder Blitz.

F Is for Friendship

For this design, I paired up two backgrounders, Shady Daisy and Spanish Script with my For the Men stamp set from The Rummage Bin line. Who would have thought a masculine set would have such stunning sentiments? I just love all Lesley’s designs! The daisy is simply ink up with Versamagic Chalk ink in a soft aqua color and then stamped. After allowing to dry, the sentiments were stamped in Burnt Umber Palette ink.

On Monday…I had a fun trip to my local scrapbook store and picked up some beautiful new My Mind’s Eye Paper. I made it into a card base and of course…I had to stamp on it! The left side is stamped with the Spanish Script backgrounder and a flourish from the Beautiful set decorates the right.

A few embellishments finish it off….a Prima flower, Autumn Leaves button and Creative Impressions ribbon accent the left. To the right…some Doodlebug die cut strips are clipped on with a Making Memories clip.

Have a fabulous weekend!

P.S. I’ll be back soon with the winner of the blog candy soon.
