Best Friends

Hello!  Welcome back for another challenge at  Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. This week the challenge is Best Friends. You can interpret this anyway you would like. 


I decided that I would go with a married couple who are just starting out and hopefully will end up as best friends.  They don't look to comfortable  yet. :)


I used an old embroidery hoop that I had laying around in the drawer for sometime.   I started with tissue paper as the base for my background which I stenciled with the doily stencil and a lovely soft pink dye ink and everything just started to gel from there.

Products:  Tim Holtz Layering Stencil - Doily, Ranger Distress Ink - Victorian Velvet, Idea-ology Tim Holtz Found Relatives Idea-Ology - Tim Holtz Small Talk ,  Lace,  Pink Mist, Embroidery Hoop, Paper Flowers, Heart Charms, Marriage Vows

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store
