Make a Scene Monday - Friend Card

Hello Happy Crafters,

Welcome to my blog today. It was a really nice sunny day yesterday and today its gone cloudy and rainy again, so to cheer myself up from the doom and gloom I made a nice friendship card.

I made it using Mustard Seed Distress Ink on water color paper. I added the ink by placing the pad to my glass mat, sprayed water on the ink and pressed my paper onto it. 

I used my Lawn Fawn Critters in the Savannah and the Critters on the Farm stamp sets and used the mouse, the lion and the giraffe. I colored them in using my Promarkers.  I cut a thin strip of watercolor paper and colored it in green and stuck it down using glue to the bottom of the card to be the ground. I then adhered the critters using some foam squares.

For my sentiment I used a stamp set from Personal Impressions. I stamped it onto some pale yellow patterned paper from Back to Basics IV from Dovecraft. I love this paper pack as its so versatile and can be used for almost any occasion.

I cut my sentiment into a flag on one edge and positioned it in the top right hand corner and stuck it down using my tape runner. I then got an orange card stock as the base and adhered my watercolor paper using some foam adhesive. 

I love making friendship cards because it can be used for any occasion like a birthday, or a thank you or even a thinking of you card. The list is endless.

I like how this one turned out. The three critters that wouldn't normally be seen together and the sentiment states that they are friends, so its a good card to give to a friend that is maybe your complete opposite but who you get along with anyway. 

I hope you like my card and feel free to leave any comments below by clicking the Comment button.
