A Floral Friendship Card

 Happy Hello!

Here is my entry for the January 2023 Card Chain Challenge. The card has been sent to Greta, whom I am sure you all know and admire. Her cards are fabulous, IMO.

I have chosen this time the sketch option as well as the friendship one. It was fun to make this card and to use my new Pinkfresh Studio stamp set called With Sympathy. I am adding this card to the NBUS Challenge #47.

My floral focal point is this lovely stamp that arrived from Pinkfresh Studio recently. My card base is Stampin' Up! Old Olive. I colored part of the image with SU Stampin' Blends markers in the light shades, Pink Pirouette, Seaside Spray, Daffodil Delight, Highland Heather, and Old Olive. Oh, and one dark looking but light Real Red tidbits. The Color Lifter pen came in handy a couple of times, ya know!

As the sketch for this challenge showed a diagonal stripe bisecting the card, I did that with triangle of light gray cardstock from my parts stash. A thin strip of black cardstock separates the sections. My sentiment is made with a fun wooden stamp by Hampton Art Stamps that I have had forever, but rarely used. Isn't this a just-right stamp for a friend?

Take good care, my blog friends. It's cold here in Minnesota! Brrr! See you next time. Cyber hugs.

Thank you for visiting and I hope you will come by again.
