Sabrina has a timely WTUI challenge for us, I Herby Resolve , for crafting goals. I resolve to use my stash. I have a 5" stack of images that I've already colored, an 8" stack of inked and/or embossed backgrounds, plus pre stamped and die cut sentiments. Time to put them to good use! This card supports two additional resolutions, to get together with those I love more and to send the cards I make. This on its way to my dearest friend. We've been friends since she was 4 and I was 7. We met for lunch last week and plan to get together again soon. Thought a card would be a good reminder!
The AI girls were in my pre colored stash, I added a few details and cut them out. Stash bg pieces are the embossed brick bg and woodgrain bar. I die cut a candelabra (had the die for a year without using) from black cs and vellum. Cut off the black candles, replaced with vellum and added Crystal Glaze for the light fixtures. Adhered pieces to brick ef and black card base. Stamped the sentiment, sponged with ink and popped it with foam tape. Stamped a flourish above and below sentiment to complete. TFL

Love this fun card! What a great card to send to your dear friend and I also love your resolutions to put those pre-colored images, embossed panels and die cuts to use (also one of my resolutions this year :-)) Thanks for the inspiration, sweet friend!

Wish I had a stash like that to work from...I'm sure it keeps you out of "card prison" for failing to get a card sent when you know you should! Seriously, Carla, love these two snarky ladies having a fab-fest with that lovely textured brick wall setting them off...reminds me of the Get-Away Girls at lunch! Sentiment is perfect...friends they'll be forever!
