Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog - #36 Anything Goes

Good morning and welcome to another challenge at Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog. For the next 2 weeks we have made it easy for you, because it's Anything Goes!  As always your creations must have a stamp rubber image and/or sentiment on it, no digis this time.


We are being sponsored by Heartfelt Creations.  They have some beautiful stamps! 


The winner of this challenge will receive a $25 gift certificate. 


When I first saw this challenge and knew we could use any rubber stamp we had, I thought I had it pegged.  At the last minute, I changed my mind and total creation.  I decided to go with the stamp by SWALK called Friendship.  I have a gf who has been feeling down and we've been friends for 36+ years.  We don't get to talk much because we live so far away from each other now, but she's like a sister to me.  When coloring the image with my water and regular color pencils, I could remember all the fun we had growing up across the street from each other.   


I wanted an unique card, so I tried my hand at a circle side-step card.  It becomes difficult when cutting out pieces and parts of circles for this card.  I was quite happy to use the die-cuts when I could.  Just some flowers, lace and a metal bracket was added for embellishments.


Here's the back of the card, you can see, it's a complete circle.  I did add a half circle and the back to write a little something to my friend.  

thanks for looking and reading :o)

Oh my! For a brief moment I thought these 2 cuties were behind bars...but it's only the swing chains. Adorable. (They'd be adorable jailbirds as well.) Love the card shape. I must give that a try.
