If you came from Alex's blog you are on the right track....if you want to start at the beginning click here.
Today's projects are all about friendship -- and for my project I decided to do a set of friendship cards. I hope you find them inspirational. :)
Each card measures 4 x 4.25 and the base is Papertrey Ink Kraft Card stock. Patterned paper is The Paper Studio.
I have a new obsession with my I-Top paper punch to create these adorable flowers. They are so simple and yet so adorable. I used the same concept for each card -- just alternating the flower colors and put on a different sentiment which of course is by My Pink Stamper from the "Everyday Life" collection. Click here to view the set. (each sentiment is on this same stamp set).
