Thinking of You Friend - Try Stampin' on Tuesday #109

Although the time has officially changed one hour forward, and we're experiencing more sunshine and daylight, spring doesn't seem to have arrived yet.  The temperature sure has been chilly!!!  However, by the calendar, spring is scheduled to arrive next Wednesday.  Whoppee!!
This card is for the sketch challenge with Try Stampin' on Tuesday here   I took the opportunity to use a stamp set I haven't used yet and wanted to use it before it retires!

 

I stamped the image twice using Midnight Muse ink onto Whisper White cardstock, then die cut them both using the Windows framelits. One of the middle sentiments was punched out using a circle punch.  The word "friend" from the sentiment was highlighted with a Midnight Muse marker and stamped on a piece of  So Saffron card stock.  It was cut to size and adhered over the 'friend' on the die cut image. The punched out image was discarded and the remaining part was attached to the other die cut using dimensionals.
The embellishments are Designer Builder Brads.  I used the Owl Builder punch and Parker's DSP to punch out circles that fit in these brads.
The ribbon is Natural trim ribbon.

Stamp: Just Thinking
Inks: Midnight Muse, SU markers (So Saffron, Cajun Craze)
Papers: Midnight Muse, Whisper White, Print Poetry DSP pack, Parker's DSP
Accessories: Windows Framelits, 2 1/2" circle punch, Designer Builder Brad, Owl Builder punch, Natural 7 /16" trim ribbon, dimensionals, blue dots

Have a wonderful day, and thanks for visiting

I really love your take on our sketch this week at Try Stampin on Tuesday. The frame and sentiment are a wonderful focal point, and I really love those metal flower brads. TFS
