A {Friendship} Card...
Friday, May 20, 2011
Hello there! Just a quick post for me today. It's been a busy day and I still have a lot to do. This card is what I thought would be a quick and easy card. I wasn't completely wrong, but it's not as easy as it looks. The idea for this card came from this card on Susan Raihala's blog, which I just started to follow recently. I don't know how I stumbled upon it, but I'm so glad I did. She makes a lot of one-layer cards that are simply stunning.
Anyhow, I decided that faux stitching the frames would go with the sentiment. Since I only have two colors of fine tip markers, I decided to use only two frames. Instead of using a frame stamp (because I don't have one), I used a ruler and pencil.
I think the longest part was choosing which buttons I wanted to use. I have so many, it was really hard to decide. The buttons are threaded with slivers of pink card stock.
Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Oh this is soooo sweet! Love the faux stitched frames, and I can't believe how neat it is given you did it by hand! What awesomely careful work!
Great card Dana, I love seeing Susan's cards and I am hoping to make some this weekend.
Totally love your card. Great design work. I take a long time choosing buttons, too.
