Our challenge for this week, selected by the amazing Miss America, is Good Bye/Farewell. This was perfect timing since a good friend of mine is leaving the U.S. for a few months for her job. So this card is for her! I’ve used the adorable stamp Sweet Kiss, featuring Monica and friend.
The image has been colored with Copics, cut out and mounted onto a Spellbinder’s Nestabilities Oval die cut. The flower was made from matching DP with EK Success flower punches. The sentiment is computer generated.
Thanks for stopping by today and joining us for our first Blog Hop! Your next stop along the way is the amazing Natascha’s blog!
