Happy March everyone!!
I hope this post finds you well. It seems like everyone I know is either suffering from a cold or just getting over one, so I'm excited that Spring is just around the corner and we'll hopefully be past all of that for a while! Here in Atlanta the daffodils and the cherry trees are already in full bloom...our clue that Spring isn't far behind!

I couldn't resist playing with the brand new Friends stamp set this week! The images are so beautiful and I just adore the font.
I first created the background using Distress Oxide inks in Worn Lipstick and Tattered Rose on Bristol Smooth watercolor paper. I then stamped my image using Versamark ink and embossed it using gold embossing powder. I really like the combination of the pinky-peach colors with the gold metallic powder.
I cut my image out using a scalloped square die and mounted this onto some gold glittery paper, and then onto a paler pink cardstock. Finally, I used a square foam sheet between this and my background to pop up the image and give the card a bit of dimension. I added some bling with iridescent pink and peach sequins.
I used the hearts stamp from the same set to stamp the inside of my card with the Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink.
Thanks guys for visiting with me today! It means so much to me!!
