G is for Girlfriend

flowers, Friendship, Ocassions, Tiddlyinks

Hello crafty friends!  Happy Friday to you!  Hope that you’re having a great Summer and a great start to your July month.  We’ve been busy doing lots of things and I got to visit my new grandson again which of course was wonderful!

I’m swinging in today to share a new challenge over at the Alphabet Challenge Blog!   Our next letter is ‘G‘ and the hostess has chosen “G” is for GIRLFRIEND  *Remember that this is a bi-weekly challenge, so you have two weeks to enter*  I hope you will find some time to play along!  Here’s what I’ve created:

Isn’t this the cutest image!  I found this adorable image called “Emmy and Wryn-BFF” from the Tiddlyinks store on Etsy.  I have always loved this artist’s images and I hope to be coloring up more of them soon!  

I colored the image with Copics and then black heat embossed the sentiment at the bottom and cut out the entire panel with a stitched scallop square die.  (P.S.  Have you heard that “My Favorite Things” has closed?)  Both the sentiment and die came from MFT.

I had a package of these pretty papers from another crafty friend laying around, so I pulled them out to use for this card.  I loved the flowers, so I cut a few of them out and popped them up in the corners with foam squares.  I added another strip of the papers in the center of the design behind the image panel that was also popped up with foam tape.

I finished with details on the images using a black gel pen for their eyes and a white gel pen for highlights.  I added some colored gems over top.

I hope you’ve enjoyed my card today and that you’ll stop on over to the challenge blog to see what the rest of the team has come up with.  Thanks so much for dropping in!

  11. Vicki, your coloring is off the chain! (LOL ever since I watched Ozzy’s final concert in Birmingham UK I’ve been saying ‘off the chain’ — must be a metalhead phrase, heehee. The concert was awesome, btw!

  12. Such a heartwarming tribute to friendship—your coloring brings Emmy and Wryn to life with so much personality and charm. The black embossed sentiment adds a bold touch that perfectly balances the softness of the floral background. I especially love how you used gel pen highlights and popped-up florals to give the card dimension and sparkle. It’s sweet, vibrant, and full of joy—just like a celebration between best friends.

  16. Oh those girls are so cute. They are definitely BFFs. I like how you cut out some of the flowers from the same paper you used for the background because they not only look great, but they pull the whole page together. How’s the new grandson doing? Hope you’ve been able to see him and also are having a great weekend. hugs-Erika
