Long-Time Friend

Good morning.  I have a quick post this morning.  The retired Stampin’ Up! set Long-Time Friend has been one of my all time favorite sets and I was happy to use it in the SCS Sketch Challenge on Wednesday.

KC Long-Time Friend 26

I cut the main image layer using watercolor paper and a Nestabilities Oval Deckle die.  I stamped the image and then placed the paper back in the die to use as a mask to create a white border frame around the image.  I colored the image using a brush and reinkers mixed with water and them sponged the green and blue sky areas.  I thought the lattice border was a great addition to the card as well as the little foliage sprigs and flowers. 

I hope your first week of 2011 is going great.

  1. So beautiful Kittie, Long Time Friend is one of my all-time SU favorites as well! I remember the excitement we all felt when it first came out and all the gorgeous cards on SCS. It’s so nice to see it being used again!
