Made for the Hope You Can Cling To Challenges 2014 - My Hero
We were asked to make a card inspired by our real life hero. My hero is a long time stamping friend of mine. She happened to be in a stamp shop that I had ventured into as I was looking for materials for a school project. From that time we became good friends. She has been a steadfast supporter as I have gone thru some tough times. She is a great listener, a generous giver to her friends and family and despite her own debilitating health issues never complains.
The ATC on this card was made by me for a swap at a recent Stamp Camp that my friend organises. My friend loves vintage themes, so at the time I tried to make this into something she would love. The background paper was from a scrap that she shared with me at our last ‘play-date’, and I embossed it with a folder we used during that session. Her favourite colour is Burgundy.

What a gorgeous vintage creation in honour of your friend! Lovely colours and layers, you've put all the elements together so beautifully, which isn't easy to pull off. You're blessed to have such a faithful and encouraging friend, and I found it so interesting that you just happened to meet in a stamping store! Thanks for sharing your hero story for this challenge!
