Friendship Card

I made 4 of these cute cards for a swap for our Lexington Card and Crafts  group. If you live in the Midlands of South Carolina, be sure to check out the Facebook group and join us once a month for some craft time.

I used OWH Sketch #174, patterned paper from the Basic Grey Fiction line, and a piece of Core'dinations cardstock. The ribbon is May Arts. The bird and friendship quote are from the Stampin Up! "Language of Friendship" stamp set with coordinating punch. I used a Viva Decor Pearl Pen to create two sets of three pearl drops. This is probably only the second time I have used it. I should get it out more often!

I love using paper pads when making cards. It takes the guess work out of matching. Everything already matches! I used SIX different pieces of patterned paper on this card. I'm sure I would not have been so brave had I not had a paper pad there to do all the matching work for me.
