Friendship Card

Did you miss me? I took a little break to go see my family last week (including my baby nephew!) I'm back in my craftroom (oh how I missed it so...) and have created a Friendship card as my entry into 5 challenges.

Supplies:

• Cardstock - hand cut card base and layer: Bazzill, hand cut News print butterfly tag: Graphic 45, Olde Curiosity Shoppe

3 Wisemen - Christmas in July

This is one of my favorite cards from the batch of lost in the mail Christmas cards. The silhouette of the 3 wisemen was cut at 5" from DCWV glitter cardstock and Cricut Lite cartridge Inspired Heart. I love DCWV glitter cardstock because of its brilliant shimmer with no mess. The glitter is embedded in the paper rather than on top and will not make your workspace messy.

The gold heavy cardstock is from my stash. It is 8 1/2 x 11" folded in half. I dry embossed it with the D'vine Swirl cuttlebug folder just on the front to symbolize the desert winds and sand swirling around them during their journey to see baby Jesus. The inside message is personalized for the recipient and printed on text weight metallic paper from The Paper Cut.

Hope you were inspired today!
