For the Hostess...

This past weekend, I was invited to a "Girl's Luncheon" with all my girlfriends from high school.  The hostess is a very good friend of mine. We had known each other since 5th grade.  It was so nice to catch up with each other. We're planning on keeping the luncheon going once a month this year.  It's amazing how close we all live together and yet we can't find the time to see each other more often. Hopefully we can keep this up.  So, I thought I send her a card for hosting and for inspiration, I used the Mojo Monday sketch below.



Here's my take on the sketch. I used a Hero Arts flower stamp, stamped it three times and then colored them with copic markers.  I cut them each out and layered them with pop dots for a more dimensional look.  I added some stickles around the edges for sparkle.  My DP is from Basic Grey.  I used the swiss dot folder to emboss the green Basic Grey paper in order to add more dimension, added some lace, buttons (from PTI) and twine to complete the card.  The sentiment is actually from PTI.


I'm actually amazed at how the card turned out.  I really like and enjoy making this card. 

Thanks for looking!
