FMS697 Happy We Are Friends

Happy Thursday, everyone! My card today uses the sketch from my fun friend Linda at FMS:

I saw a very pretty card made by Wendy Weixler (you can see it HERE) and she used the Spring Corners bundle in a way I wouldn't have thought to! I don't have any of the yellow papers she used, so I opted to use a different color palette with Linda's sketch and used some florals and patterns from Floral Charm:

I diecut a panel of the DSP with the floral die, then sponged some Blackberry Bliss and Pecan Pie underneath.  After adding the sentiment, I really liked the grungy look Wendy achieved, so I stamped some speckles (and got a little carried away), then added my layers of DSP and cardstock.  THEN I decided to get really creative and try a new product called Metallic Textures Rub Ons.  These are very easy to use; they rub on just with your fingernail!  I may have gotten carried away with these gold speckles as well, LOL!  I will just consider this card an experiment!  Hopefully you can see a wee bit of the gold, it really does shine!

My final embellishment was a little Linen Thread bow, oh, and I did do some faux stitching along the bottom Basic Beige panel!  I can't wait to play some more with these rub-ons!

Thanks so much for popping in today!  We have company coming this weekend, but next week I want to share some of the pretty cards I got for my birthday!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!
