Friends Forever!

Hello everyone! sorry I have been rather MIA...wouldn't you just know it, go on holidays and I end up having the sorest throat...3rd day of having it today, I feel rather lousy and have lost about 85% of my voice, so to say the least I sound like a hyena..LOL.

I did not want to let the Jay Gee's Nook team down, so managed to scrap together a card, not my best at all, but at least something to share with you all today, on this cold day at the Cottage..

I used the technique of Paint Resist...apply the pearl paint dabber over the top of the Lotus Background stamp, stamping it onto white card stock and heat setting. Once dry I applied Dried Marigold, Victorian Velvet and Brushed Corduroy, trimming down and adhering to a Latte trimmed Layering paper that was stamped with the same ink and Raindrop Background stamp. Adding a sentiment from the Sophies Sentiments and lastly scattering of pearls to complete.

I love the way paint and distress inks work together, it gives it such a beautiful effect.

Be sure to check out the BLOG to see what the rest of the DT gals have created, I always look forward to Sunday's to check out the beautiful creations from my fellow teamies.

Don't forget that there is still time to enter the challenge, I know you are going to love the next challenge that we have cooked up for you.

Hope you all have a fabulous rest of the day, I will be back tomorrow with a share of some goodies that I purchased yesterday.

Hugs
