Unity Guest Designer Monday {Dec 27th}

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! Mine was less than stellar but let’s not talk about that. I’m looking forward to a fresh New Year. Today’s post is all about girlfriends. You know, the ones that stick by you through thick and thin, the ones that really understand you and say the right things when you need it the most.

For my first card, I created a background using the ‘daisy for you’ and ‘love for us’ stamps from the December Kit – Just Be You. The main sentiment ‘hello girlfriend’ is from the October Kit – Take Time To Laugh which was adhered to a floral embossed panel. I added a twine and button flower accent to finish.

My second card combines the same two sets used in the first card. It uses the cute retro telephone stamp from the December Kit – Just Be You popped on nesties and embellished with twine. The background is a cascade of two tiny images from the October Kit – Take Time To Laugh. I rounded opposite corners of the card to finish.

Either of these cards are sure to brighten any friend’s day. Sometimes we all need that, right? 🙂
