BBB21 - The Beauty of Friendship

Hello again!  I'm back again with my very first Bring Back Beautiful Challenge!  


Before we get on with the challenge details, I just wanted to say it one more time, I am seriously OVER THE MOON to be joining the STELLAR group of ladies over at Flourishes.  As if being asked to join the BBB DT wasn't flattering enough, when was told who would be joining with me, I just about DIED...I am HONOURED to be joining along with the SUPER talented Linda Duke and Claudia Rosa.


Anyway, without further ado, let's get onto the challenge!

For this month’s Bring Back Beautiful challenge, we’d like to honor those in our lives that bless us with their friendship with THE BEAUTY OF FRIENDSHIP. The challenge is just that simple – make a card or creation with a friend in mind!  For those of you uploading your cards to SCS, please use the keyword: BBB21.

Here is what I came up with:
Do you have any friends who you don't see often but, even after years, you pick up right where you left off?  I know I have at least a few dear friends like that...which is probably why I LOVE this sentiment SO much!

I used the STUNNING Cherry Blossoms stamp set from Flourishes, inking it up with Memento in Rich Cocoa.  I coloured it with Copic Markers (R00, R02, YG0000, YG00, E43, E44) just giving it a light wash of colour.  I wanted to keep it soft.  The sentiment is from Flourishes' Cherries and Peaches stamp set.  I layered the main panel over some pretty patterned papers in one of my favourite colour combinations and added some pearls, lace, rhinestone clusters, and a seam binding bow.

I used Copic markers from the following Flourishes Copic Collections:


I used my fellow teammate, Iwona Palamountain's Sketchbook Saturday 51:

Anyway, I can't wait to see all of your BEAUTIFUL creations!
