My Friend

I made this card using the Stamping 411 Sketch#221 here.
The base is Cherry Cobbler card stock and I added some Paisley Petals DSP. I matted some Very Vanilla with Old Olive. I used my Baha Breeze, Cherry Cobbler, Cajun Craze and Old Olive Stampin' Write markers to color in the stamp from My Friend. I used another stamp from that set and stamped it in Cajun Craze and then punched it out with the 1 1/4 inch Circle punch. I punched the Old Olive piece with the 1 3/8 inch Circle punch and the Cherry Cobbler piece with the 1 3/4 inch Scallop Circle punch. I popped those up with Stampin' dimensionals. I used the Boho Blossoms punch for the Cajun Craze and Baha Breeze flowers and added an Old Olive brad to the center. Finally, I stamped my friend in Cherry Cobbler.
Here's my recipe:

I started with some More Mustard card stock and ran it thru the Big Shot with the Square Lattice embossing folder. I used some DSP from the Paisley Petals DSP and matted that and a piece of Very Vanilla with some Cherry Cobbler. I stamped grateful and the dotted leaf from Falling Leaves in Cherry Cobbler. I stamped the other two leaves in Calypso Coral and More Mustard, cut them out and popped them up with Stampin' dimensionals. Finally, some new 3/8 inch Cherry Cobbler Quilted Satin Ribbon from the Holiday Mini finishes it off.
