Good Times

Happy Wednesday!  Today I've got a simple little card using the Great Friend set.  The card has been sitting on my desk for a couple days while I decided whether or not I liked it. I'm still a little on the fence about it, just because it doesn't feel like my normal style.  But sometimes it's fun to just get outside your own little box, color outside the lines, ya know?


So, here's the lowdown...  I cut a piece of Paddington paper by 7 Gypsies, then punched a little bracket border along the bottom and matted with black.  I stamped the flowers from Great Friend on white cardstock, then colored with Copic markers and cut out.  I painted a little crystal effects around the edges then dipped in some waterfall glitter.  The sentiment is stamped on a Labels 14 Nestabilities die cut and I added a little ruffled black seam binding ribbon up top.  My finishing touches were some 2mm, 3mm and 4mm turquoise pearls from Pizzazz Aplenty.  I love how you can get multiple sizes in the same color!

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you have a great day!
