Anyone Can Be Cool

Today I'm sending out special Happy Birthday wishes to one of my special girlfriends who has been through many of life's situations with me since my early working career. 

The image of the stacked cups reminded me of how life sometimes gives us wobbly situations and yet how strong friendships can hold us all together. 

After printing the image I used Copic markers for the coloring.  Then I selected the floral background paper and used Gina Marie Designs Label Three for the decorative edges.  

With the way the image ended (incomplete saucer), I cut across the image and mat. I added the alternate strip of lavender cardstock and the pink ribbon to give the image a table top look.   Then all the layers were secured to the navy card base.

I stamped the sentiment from My Favorite Things, Friends Like Us and die cut it with the same Gina Marie set. I added a layer of foam behind the sentiment and secured it to the card front to complete the design. 

Hopefully the card made it through the mail to my girlfriend in time for her special day today! 

Happy Birthday Rhonda!
