Great times - Best Friends

I'm back again with a special "card" in book style. Our Time Out Challenge #296 is a Theme Challenge about Friendship, Encouragement, Support. These seem like common sentiments many of us have, so join us in the gallery! Stop by the team's blogs to learn about their cards, too.












Our wonderful sponsor, Claire Brennan Designs, has generously offered this fabulous stamp set as a prize for our Challenge Winner, who will also get an invitation to join us as Guest Designer for a future challenge.






Also, we are joined by LeAnne Pugliese of weeinklings, and winner of Time Out #291 as Guest Designer. Be sure to check her blog post for all of the details on her card!

About my card: I used The Stamp Market Book die, Sunny Studio Loopy Letter Lower dies, and a "vintage" sentiment stamp (inside) from either Michael's or Joann Fabrics and an Altenew Obisidan black ink pad. I used several pink and gold matte cardstocks for the card, letters and other details. There are gold letters behind the pink ones to give a shimmery shadow effect. The card is about 3.5" x 5" and I made mine open by adding a folded strip inside and covered it with the white "page."

We look forward to having you play along!
