Time Out Guest Designer

Hello, stamping friends! I recently won a Time Out challenge and was asked to be a guest designer!  Yippee!  

Their theme this week is Friendship/Encouragement/Support:

and the challenge is sponsored by Claire from Waltzingmouse Stamps; here is the prize she is offering:

For my card today, I pulled out an oldie but goodie called Friendships Grow, and it happened to be given to me by a sweet friend, Teri!  I stamped this image in Stazon black ink and did my favorite technique, watercoloring, to color it in:

I chose some pink gingham and Bubble Bath cardstock for the background, as well as a scalloped mat, and some retired gingham ribbon added a bit of fun.  I stamped a sentiment from the Year of Flowers, which seemed appropriate for the image!

I hope you'll play along with our Friendship challenge at Time Out this week!  We all need some encouragement, and stampers give the best!  Thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!
