Timeless Tuesday #125 ~ For a Friend


Hello everyone! I hope you had a happy 4th of July weekend! We're back this week with another Timeless Tuesday challenge, and this week Heather is our hostess! I just love the challenge she chose.... make a card for a friend, near or far, just be sure to include the word "friend" somewhere in the sentiment.

I decided to pull out my neglected Seasonal Wreaths stamp set from Flourishes, and ink up the sunflower wreath. Sunflowers are one of my most favorite Summer flowers! I suppose one could argue that they're more a Fall flower, but they do tend to bloom in late Summer, don't they? :) My sentiment on the tag comes from the Butterflies and Blossoms stamp set. I colored my image with Copic markers (some from the Sunflower collection) on Flourishes Classic White cardstock, and paired it with some "Hello Luscious" designer paper from Basic Grey. I used Iwona Palamountain's Saturday Sketchbook challenge for the layout. My image was cut out with a Nestabilities circle, and layered with another circle and the lacey circle.
Our team is a little shorthanded this week due to some family crisis', so we asked Iwona to join us for added inspiration! And we welcome a new Guest Designer for July, Shannon White! Be sure to check out their blogs linked below for inspiration...

    This card calls to me! Oh my - I love the colors and the combination of patterns. I'm a bit of a sunflower lover but actually it's all the extras that drew me in on this one! Awesome style!

    I adore your rich, saturated colours! It's a very autumnal card, makes me want to snuggle up under the blanket with a good book :)

    I love the sunflower wreath. You did a beautiful job combining that papers to match. The gingham ribbon ties it all together. Funny how many of us used Cupa's sketch. :)

    I love the diecut edge, ribbon, and that beautifully coloured image. That ribbon really is an attention getter though, I love gingham ribbon and this one looks like silk so I am obsessing over it just a bit.
