Kit and Clowder Swap Card May 2015

We are now mid-way through half term week and, as predicted, there is not a lot of craft time for me as my two grandchildren are keeping me busy. I hope you are all enjoying your week.

Last month Alyce from the Kit and Clowder Facebook group organised an international card swap. The theme was "Friendship" and this is the card that I made for my partner, Sarit, who lives in Tel Aviv. 

I used an 8"x 8" card blank and covered it with turquoise card. The text paper and pink striped paper are from Papermania. I made a doily with an X-cut embossing folder and scalloped circle die and coloured it with Pan Pastels.

I used this gorgeous image by Sherri Baldy that I chose as part of my prize from Holley's February giveaway. Thank you Holley! The digi is called IMG 521 Best Besties Forever and I thought it was perfect for the "Friendship" theme. I coloured it with Copics and a few Promarkers.

The flowers were made using Delicate Daisies Open Petals dies, the butterflies are an X-cut die and the fence is from a Marianne die.

I printed the sentiment from the PC, the bow is turquoise seam binding. I finished the card with some flat backed gems. 

This is the adorable card I received from Sarit in return. Thank you to Alyce for organising the card swap. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I've entered my card in the following challenges:
