Friends Forever

I love the challenges over at Clearly Inspired and try to participate each month. Yesterday I realized I was almost out of time for this month's challenge and I didn't have much time available to craft. I thought the perfect solution would be to use one of the precolored Bird on a Wire images from Doodle Pantry. Laurie had them available for free download a short time ago. But, when I went to print them out, I could not find them on my hard drive. I am having issues with my PC and I am not sure what happened to them. (Major bummer!)

I decided to stick with my precolored image idea and remembered that I had some from *Wink *Wink Ink. Thank goodness! I was able to print out this cute image and make the card in one evening (which is pretty fast for me!)

So what do you think? Although I love coloring images, I think I am going to keep these in mind for when I need something quick. Thank you for looking!

Challenges:


Supplies:

  • Stamps: Falling Apart from *Wink *Wink Ink, Just Because from CTMH
  • Papers: CTMH Veranda Creative Basics paper pack, Juniper and Neutral CS, GP CS
  • Inks: CTMH Juniper & Garden Green, Distress Inks Antique Linen
  • Tools: Crop-a-dile, Big Shot, Spellbinders Nestabilities
  • Embellishments: RibbonFX ribbon, misc. eyelet & dewdrops

beautiful card, love the layers and I would have thought you hand colored it!

LOVE *wink*wink ink images! The precolored images are a blast to work with when you have a great idea for a card, but don't want to spend a lot of time coloring it first.

Fantastic card!
