Friends

Good afternoon, and welcome to Roxann a new follower. Thanks for joining me here, as I'm always delighted to make a new craft/card friend.

There is a pretty sketch challenge going on at Jo's Scrap Shack. By the way, Jo is having
 some nice blog candy for her 200th followers goal- see pic in sidebar. Now for the  Funday Friday's Challenge. I'm not very good with sketches but this looked like one I could manage, so I made a card last night. Surprisingly, the sketch made it easier for me to think about how to arrange the card (DUH! Who knew?), but also helped me to think about what design papers to use.

I've got some snippets on this one too, so you know it's going over to Pixie's Crafty Workshop Playground to enter my 3rd card entry for a chance to win this lovely Ryn Water Droplets stamp. Woo Hoo...wouldn't it be a lovely texture stamp to have in your bag of tricks??? I've seen a Ryn water stamp used on some lovely cards at Paper Creations by Shirley. This particular post is not the same prize water droplets stamp, but a similar one by Ryn, and Shirley has done a lovely card.

OK..here's the card: (even with the sentiment on the front, I think it will work for Birthday, Thank you, or whatever...depending on what I do on the inside.)

- diecut is a new Die-Namites Daisy Bunch. This was my first try with this brand, and it cut like butter. Loved it! I used copics to color white cryogen paper diecut- which was a snippet from my rather unsuccessful water coloring adventure earlier this week. Copics worked much better on this paper.

- yellow snippet dsp diecut with a S/B small circle.

- red mat is S/B Stately Circle die on a red snippet (this dsp has a stars pattern, but you can't see it on the part that shows. Daja Vu from an earlier project.

- green striped paper was from a pack (not a snippet, - hadda cut into this piece -but NOW, I have a snippet left! <g>). Expect to see it again.

- red bottom dsp was a snippet though, as was the yellow dotted border piece cut with an EK Success punch.
- yellow flower border - same snippet as the yellow circle, just the opposite lighter colored side.

- Elizabeth Craft sentiment, a tiny green snippet - which you've seen before. Dumped the thoroughly holey small piece that was left into the trash...finally. Sure got my $$$'s worth from this paper as I've cut palm fronds, plant stems, tree trunks, etc from this piece.  These small script dies are wonderful to use up small pieces of leftovers. I sure hope a company will bring out more of these smaller script dies because I am loving them. I've sent an email to Elizabeth Craft & to Memory Box, asking for seasonal & celebration script dies, so I hope they pay attention to customer feedback.

I hope you'll like this card, and I hope you'll also join the challenges at Funday Friday & Pixie's Crafty Workshop week 75! Happy afternoon and hugs.
