You’ve Got a Friend in Me | CraftyPaws

I fell in love with the Bella & Friends Stampin’ Up! stamp set the minute I laid eyes on it.Ā TheĀ tilt of the head, the adorableĀ posture, and the sweet face are all so sweet my teeth ache!

20161121_205539A dear friend of mine, who helped me through some of my most difficult times a few years ago, is going through a very tough time now. I am so thankful for her and our friendship, and I just wanted toĀ send her a card with the nose-to-nose playful puppy and turtle to remind her that she had a forever friend in me.

I used the following Copics to color up this scene:
Grass with cast shadow: G40, 24 and 46
Turtle: YG21, YG17, G46, R22, R35 and R39
Puppy: E51, E53 and YR24
Ombre sky: B000 and 00

Then I die cut the scene using the third largest of the My Favorite Things Die-namics Cross-Stitch Rectangle STAX die set. I like how the cross stitching adds a little bit of a homey feeling to the scene. Then IĀ simply matted it with some red shimmerz card stock (picking up the hints of red in the turtle and dog collar).Ā I stampedĀ the sentiment, “You’ve got a friend in me.” with Momento Luxe Tuxedo Black Ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder on vellum. I like using varied papers like shimmerz and vellum because I think they add texture and shine that add interest (especially on CAS cards).

20161121_204733-1The white card front is dry embossed with the wood grain embossing folder from The Paper Studio — one of my go-to favorite embossing folders. I added some thin fun foam from the Dollar Tree behind the panel to raise it just a tad off the white card stock card base but still keep this card totally mail-friendly.
