Well, it’s Thursday again which means it’s time for another challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches. This week it’s Bev’s turn to host and it’s a sketch week.

Here’s the banner which inspired my card:

And my best friend Julia inspired also this card and in fact is the reason that I got the Friendly Wishes set. We went out last night for a pedicure – and having just put my foot through an admittedly old sheet, it was definitely time – and as usual we had a blast. It doesn’t really matter what we do though, we always have fun. And we can talk about anything and everything and we usually do! We have each other’s back. Always. I hope that you have a friend like that.

I stamped the sentiment in archival basic black on whisper white, coloured the word using the melon mambo stampin’ write marker and cropped it down closely which gave me a 2 inch wide banner. Perfect for fitting in the triple banner punch. I then cut out another matching banner with melon mambo and cut it exactly in half using the trimmer. I stuck the melon mambo to the whisper white first – I used the grid paper to help me line up the pink so that it was even then I popped up the element with dimensionals. Something was still missing. The little silver metallic heart from the new metallic enamel shapes was the perfect finishing touch.

I hope that you’ll take a look at the challenge site and the inspiration from the rest of the team and have a go yourself. It would be great to see you in the gallery.

See you tomorrow,
