#120 Friends Forever


The theme over at One Stitch at a Time is Use a Digi - a nice easy one for you so come and join us. I used this lovely digi, Friends Forever, by Teri of Delicious Doodles over at Stitchybear Digital Stamps Shop. The sponsor is Robin's Nest but do check out the OSAAT blog so you can see the prize structure.

The card blank is by Craft UK. The greeny/gold background card is by Papermill. I used some cream paper to make the corners (cut by hand!!). Yikes, but they're almost equal. lol I embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder before rubbing over with Distress Ink. I used two Spellbinder dies to cut the motifs in my new Indus Lokta paper. I also used this paper for the strip, going across the card, which I embellished with eyelets. I'd forgotten how difficult I find it to use the Crop-o-dile, oh, to be young again. The focal point is the beautiful digi by Teri of Delicious Doodles, over at Stitchybear Digital Stamps Shop. The image is called Forever Friends - hence my choice of  sentiment, by Lili of the Valley, which reads Always and Forever. I coloured the image with my trusty Promarkers and after cutting with a Spellbinders label die, I used Distress Ink on the inside edge. The finishing touch was a small horseshoe charm tied with a raffia bow. The charm, raffia and new paper were all from Hobbycraft.

The sponsor this week is Robin's Nest but please check the challenge blog for full details of prizes.

I'm entering this card in to the following challenges:

Oldie but a Goodie - Summer Holidays - raffia is something old and this image reminds me of a holiday a few years back when some Norwegian friends came to stay. Their eldest daughter was horse mad, a difficult age teenager and didn't want to do anything until she'd ridden an 'English' horse. We booked her in to a local stables so that she could have a riding day. We wanted to enjoy the rest of the holidays! lol
