Friends Forever

The sanded background stamp works perfectly when you want to dirty up the white a bit. I used So Saffron to give the illusion of sunshine. What do you think?

First, I stamped, die cut, and sponged my banner. I stamped it using Archival Basic Black. I then die cut it using the Large Numbers Framelits. Lastly, I sponged it with some So Saffron ink.

I then took the Sanded background and "sanded" the background with a bit of So Saffron.

Next, I stamped the tree trunk in the lower center of the card with some Early Espresso.

I added leaves to the branches with Cajun Craze. 

Next, I stamped two blue birds using Night of Navy ink. 

Lastly, I attached the sentiment with dimensionals and added the Whisper White panel to the inside of the card using liquid adhesive.

 This background was made using a watercolor splash technique. Loll Thompson has a you tube video demonstrating it. You can see it HERE. I used inks from different color groups on my card and am quite pleased with my result. What do you think?
