Friends to the end

A week or so ago I was asked to make a quick card for Amanda to send to one of her best friends who lives in France. Amanda and Laetitia were pen-friends long before email, and even now send letters via snail mail to each other every few months. I have had the pleasure of meeting Laetitia a few times, once when she was here for Amanda's wedding and second when she joined us all on a holiday last year.

I recently purchase the Wild Rose Studio Stamp - Best Friends, and thought it suited them perfectly. I added the little sentiment "Friends to the end" from C.C Designs, as I truly think these two will be friends forever. As this was a quick card I didn't have time to buy any new paper, but I loved using up the last of my purple stash. I added lace and some ribbon with purple hearts, and some tiny pearl embellishments - which are very difficult to see in the photo!

A very purple card

My friend Amanda asked me to make a card for her Mum this weekend. The only requirements? Use the C.C Design stamp "Coffee Kiki La Rue" to celebrate her Mum's love of hair rollers and coffee.. and make it purple! Kaylene LOVES the colour purple.

I fell in love with this beautiful butterfly paper and purple card combination - I see a lot of purple cards in my future! I also tried out a faux stitching technique I've admired on other cards but I think I need a lot more practice to make it look real.
