Friendship- Pick 3 !

So here I sit, still able to make more cards for your perusal! Not that I am not enjoying it, it 's just uncomfortable at times, with this big ol' belly and baby resting within my ribs!!! Oh well! I will survive.

I made this card with a couple challenges in mind and will discuss those later. The exciting part about this card is it is not a digital image card. The stamp set is from Stampin Up and is called Serene Spring. The sentiment says= A friend is what the heart needs all the time!! Awwww!!!

I chose to do this card for the Stamping Vacation Challenge pick 3- I chose: 1. to put 2 colors together that I would not normally choose (The blue & awkward orange- I can't think of the names of the papers right now but they are from Stampin Up), 2. outline an image with different color markers & 3. carefully burn an edge of the cardstock (note the top of the card). I chose the colors first & as the card came together, I actually don't think the colors turned out too bad! I am pleased overall! Thinking outside the box- I LVOE IT!!

The other challenge is for Rosie-D's Challenge blog themed Friendship! How appropriate!!

I am so excited I have a few more cards made for additional challenges but am pacing myself with postings!

Hope you all have a great day!
