True Friendship

Hi Bloggers.

Yesterday I went for an afternoon tea with some friends to celebrate one of our number who is finally emigrating to Canada to join her son and his family early next month. It's been a long process for her and it's so lovely that the time has finally arrived.

This is the card that I made for her which we all signed -

This is a really simple card but my friend doesn't like anything to fussy so it was just perfect for her.

I stamped the foliage from the Justrite A Flower For Your Thoughts Stamp Set onto Milk Card using Fern Green Archival. I then stamped the bluebells from the same stamp set using Cobalt Archival. I cut out using Justrite Vintage Labels Four. I cut a Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles Two Die out of Cobalt Card.

I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite True Friends Vintage Labels Four Stamp Set onto Milk Card using Cobalt Archival. I cut it out using Sue Wilson's Double Pierced Rectangles, positioning the sentiment in the bottom right hand corner.

I assembled the card as shown (and yes, it is an actual card!) adding a few Cream Pearl Corners.

Don't forget to pop by later to see if you have won Freebie Friday from last week.

Thanks for stopping by.

  17. Morning Julia,

    Aaahh!! what a gorgeous card and the sentiment is lovely. My best friend moved to Canada about 8 years ago now, the last year or so we've been skyping each other a few times a week. Don't know what I'd do without Skype now.

    Simple yet stunning. I love those little bluebells, so cute. Rom Recs is a favourite die so really must get round to grabbing #2 as it's lovely. Sentiment is spot on.
