Friend Card and New Stamp Sneak Peeks!!

Happy Monday, everyone!! I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day!! I was at a resort the last few days and couldn't get an internet connection (gasp!!) I didn't plan ahead and have posts ready to go, thinking I could just write them up when I got there. This may be the longest I've gone since I started my blog in not posting. I was having serious withdrawal :(

I have a card to share with you today that I made for a dear friend who is always the first to offer enthusiastic encouragement, genuine kindness and unwavering support. I wanted to let her know how much her friendship means to me :)

The papers are from Bo Bunny's Garden Girl stack. Aren't they beautiful?? All of the gems are from The Paper Studio, the organza ribbon is from Michaels and the button and fiber from my stash.

The base of the card is a Spellbinders Grand Scalloped Square, with a Grand Square on top. I used a Long Classic Scalloped Rectangle for the next layer, and then I layered Edgeabilites Ric Rac along the bottom, alternating purple and green.

The base of the tag is a Nestabilities Label 20, and I hooked Parisian Accents dies over the top and bottom. The tag is a Fancy Tag One and I used a coordinating stamp from Stamping Scrapping for the border. "Friend" is from K Andrew Designs Winter Wishes stamp set:
