You’re a friend that makes good times great…

 

Well it seems I managed the mr linky thing sort of ok last week for Keesh’s challenge, I just don’t get how to actually show the challenge on my blog yet… sorry Keesh! Anyways, so here I am again, ready to join in the fun with another great Makeesha’s Inkspiration Inspiration Challenge #13 …. I loved the vivid red design on the crisp white of the crockery, with the sandy colour tablecloth  in the inspiration, so I decided to focus on that for my card. All products are Stampin’ Up unless otherwise stated. I love the butterfly image from the Great Friend stamp set, out of the Spring Mini, so I stamped it up in Real Red and adhered it to a matting of Whisper White card stock that has been stamped in Sahara Sand ink with the Weathered background stamp, and had the corners trimmed with the corner rounder punch. I used some fine red wire (from my own stash) for the antennae on all 3 of the butterflies. The little spotty butterfly is from Flight of the Butterfly. I ran some Sahara Sand card stock through my Cuttlebug using D’vine Swirl (both non Stampin’ UP) it sort of imitates the movement in the tablecloth. Then I added some ribbon (1.27 cm of striped grosgrain) tied a red button from the Button Bouquet collection with a little bit of  Linen Thread into a tiny bow, added the sentiment, and around the edges of that I have cut out quite a few branches and leaves and placed them under the tag.  I finished off the card with some paper piercing at opposing corners. Thanks Keesh for a great challenge, I have had lots of fun playing with this one!
