Friendship Valentine

Good morning and welcome back to the inspiration blog.  Valentine's day is coming up and it's not always a happy holiday for everyone.  However, most of us have a forever, special friend in our lives.  That one special person you've know since childhood or maybe found as an adult, but share an unexplainable connection.  You can talk about anything, share anything, you're always there for each other through thick and thin, you talk everyday even about mundane things!

Today we're going to make a friendship Valentine card.  I'm using the aLined Geos Stamp Set together with the Winding Celebrations 5x7 Stamp Set to create this collage card for your favorite friend.

I started with an A2 card base and Pistachios-A-Plenty Ink.  I only use three inks on this card so it's simple and fun and easy to throw together. I stamped the square lines twice in pistachio on an angle and moved on to the lined butterfly.  I chose the butterfly so it would be a little less lovey dovey.  The stamp set does come with hearts as well.

I stamped the lined butterflies and two of the solid butterflies in La La Lavendar.  The other solid butterfly was stamped in pistachio.  I then added the winding sentiment and stamped it in Raven Ink.  I added a few smaller butterflies stamped in Raven ink, as well as one more stamped in lavendar in the center of the sentiment.

I cut the card panel down by 1/4" on each side and centered it on a piece of pistachio colored cardstock.  This panel was then adhered to an A2 top folding card base.  I added a few sequins for a little shine and called it done!  

I think it's a very sweet card for a sweet someone in your life!  I hope you find time to get crafty today!  Hugs, LeeAnn
