I have missed you, IC, but it's nice to know you are always there for me on Saturdays.
A very fun Pinterest page, although I'm a little confused, I don't see some of the thumbnail pictures on the page. Maybe I needed to open something more? Anyway, this is what I chose: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/155303887191394657/
I had begun this card yesterday for the MIX and F4A but got stalled waiting for things to dry. For the MIX, I used Brushos on top of the hand sanitizer and this card will go to a cyber pen pal for the F4A. Actually, I have lots of friends who I have known for a long time, but live far away for various reasons. Most of the time, catching up is like no time has passed.
The top die layer is cut with the MIX background, the darker layer is a failed attempt at a DOx background with a stencil. The bottom layer is the cream metallic and then I cut one more bottom from kraft for stability. The flower branch was printed on the paper (it's also on the back) and I just folded it in half. A friend just gave me a whole bunch of it, don't know where it came from. To get a little blue in there, I added the handmade button. I think it's made from Fimo or something like that. Again, this same friend gave them to me, she got them from a swap and didn't think she'd use them. My friend's motto is 'give it to Jean, she'll think of something'. I don't understand how she could give them away, but I'm the beneficiary. I cut up the sentiment for better placement.

such a great layout. I love the raised die cut screen and how your continued the cherry branch flat to the card. The pop of blue in the button and the cut apart sentiment so pleasing to the eye. Your friend will enjoy seeing some of her work given back to her as Art to the second power!!! Creative as usual...yep...just give it to Jean, she'll like it!!!
