This card was a blast to make. I used the retired Safari BG stamp and the Paw Prints wheel for the background; I layered black ribbon between the two backgrounds. I colored the image with Lyra Pencils and blended with Gamsol (Lyra pencils use oil for the base versus wax); I reverse masked the background around the cat and love the results. I stamped just the word Friend from Long-Time Friends and embossed it in black at the bottom right, it doesn't show up well in the scan.
