This is my card for todays LSC182 challenge.
For this card I used the set Friendships Grow and Flourishes Many Sentiments for the sentiment.
I used color pencils and Goo Gone to color my image, I then sponged the edges with Old Paper and Pine Needles from TH DI,for the bg flowers I used Flower Soft in Pale Green and Christmas ? and to finish this panel I chose to distress this panel only to accent the image.
For the bg panel I used Taken with Teal, Certainly Celery and a plaid dp from Cosco. To finish I added some tiny buttons and a stick on flowers.
This is the first set I purchased on E-Bay and the first dp I ever bought when I started stamping almost 1 1/2 years ago. My how time flies when you are having fun. LOL
And let me tell you fun it has been, all that I've learned, all the new friends that I've made and oh my goodness ALL OF THE CARDS that I've made has been an experience I would not trade. Thanks to SCS I found a new home and a new family.

This is a really cute card. I love the flowers. Did you say Goo Gone? The orange cleaner? You'll have to tell me more as to the technique. Never heard of it.
