Friends in All Sizes.....

There's a new challenge today over at Paper Cupcakes and the challenge is to make a valentine's day card for a friend and to use the sentiment (available for free on the Paper Cupcakes site). There's also another freebie for TODAY ONLY, which is the sentiment cupcake, so make sure to hop over there and grab it cos Nina does cupcakes like no other and it's a really versatile image!! Here's my card:


I've used the image 'Friends in All Sizes' which can be found here - I thought it went perfectly with the sentiment and although my card isn't all red or pink and full of hearts, I think it's more appropriate for someone to send to a friend IYKWIM!!??! I remembered this paper was in one of my DCWV stacks and so coloured the image to 'match' and then I used my nesties to cut the image and mat out and also used a Nellie Snellen multi frame die to cut the frame for the sentiment. I left the card all CAS cos I didn't want to cover up too much of the paper (I was so pleased with myself for finding it LOL!)
I'm also going to enter my card into the following challenges:
OK - I think that's about all for now. Don't forget to hop over and grab the freebie and make sure you take part in the challenge this week - it's always good to let our friends know we love them too!! Have a good day and enjoy the coming week! Take care........
