[Theme #33 required elements: Best Friends Day = stamped "F/friends"

What a lovely floral tribute encouragement card to send to a special friend! This is fantastic!

[HQCB Theme #33 required elements: best friend stencil-traced and colored with markers; subtitle lets you know how long that friendship has been going;

and heart/love = stencil-inked hearts and plus/cross/x signs also stencil-inked]

 The yellow base is 6" square with aqua specialty paper panel and a recycled/upcycled panel cut from a tissues box (long rectangle kind) for that tiger lily floral print! :) Some white and black thread looped around and tucked under the tissue box panel for a bit of whimsy. And now I have a friendship card to send to my bff!!

and 

Project #2: mini slimline card at 6" high x 3.25" wide


[HQCB #33 required elements: for best friend= stenciled "BFF" and

These papers and die-cuts in Willa Jean's stash make me jealous!! These are super cool! Willa Jean and her husband have been doing more traveling this year as well as their friends and family. She's going to have a hard time deciding who to send this too! 

and

DT/owner Becca



[HQCB Theme #32 required elements: travel= hot air balloons; 
PLUS some of the hot air balloons on the acrylic overlay print have 'love' on them]

"together" is on a large journal style card (from a cut apart sheet) that is paired with an acrylic overlay panel that has 'love' on some of its hot air balloons

I love the summery colors of this! This would work for a couple getting married, engaged, celebrating an anniversary, etc. I've got a nephew with an anniversary in a few days, so I should get this ready to mail tonight for him and his lovely wife.
