I made a card with this stamp set for the "Fun In The Sun" challenge over at Krafty Girls the other day and when I went to put it away, I saw another sentiment that I thought would be perfect for my BFF
Jennifer. It's so funny, you know how it takes people a while to become friends? Well...with Jennifer it was a little different. We met about 7 years ago in our first education class. We happened to sit next to each other and the professor said "look at the person next to you, this is your new husband or wife for the remainder of the course." Jennifer and I looked at each other and were like, "uhhhh." This professor was also "psychic" and said that I would be a great teacher one day and that Jennifer would teach nursing school?? What a strange lady! Anyway, Jennifer and I have been friends every since! We became friends automatically and we were so happy that we didn't get paired up with people that wouldn't want to do their share of the work.
So here is today's card:
The card base is from Twinkle Toes. The twine is from the Twinery. Buttons from Michael's $1 bin.
I heat embossed the car in black and added some Glossy Accents to the windshield. I even tried a new technique, I colored the flowers with my blender pen using the ink from some of my SU! markers. It didn't turn out perfectly but it was fun.
I even did the inside. Something I rarely do, but it finishes off the card so nicely!
I plan on making a few more cards with this set in the future.
Thanks for visiting :)
