Make it bright, Baby!

Friday, Friends with Flair, and my BFF comes to visit.  What could be better?  I made a bright card to celebrate the occasion!


We've had some dreary days here in Northwest Wisconsin -- cloudy, drizzly, gloomy.  Even when the sun shines, it's so washed out this time of year that it doesn't have much impact.  So, I wanted to create something to brighten the world of my BFF when I give her this card.

I created it using Amy Tangerine Sketchbook 6x6 paper, then some glossy cardstock.  I used 3 colors of TH alcohol inks and an aircan to achieve the splattered look, then stamped my sentiment and fussy cut it.  The flowers are a die by Scrapping Cottage. I'm not totally happy with the flowers.  Maybe they need some bling.  I think I'll add a little sparkle before I deliver the card.  What do you think?
