This week's challenge at Creative Inspirations is to make a Friendship Card.
The stamp is an old Stampin Up one which I recently bought from ebay and the sentiment says "Friendship is a cosy shelter from life's rainy days". I think that's so sweet! (You can see it better if you click on the photo).
This card is very simple, but I like it, I hope you do too.
Here's what I used to make it:-
Cardstock: 240gsm Gloss Photo Paper http://www.photopaperdirect.com/
(I never thought of using this to make cards (other than printing digi papers) but I love it, it is heavyweight, embosses beautifully and you can stamp on it too!).
Stamp: Stampin Up from "Fine Print" set (from ebay)
Colour medium: Whispers pens (for both stamping and colouring) (from DoCrafts stockists)
Tools: Nestabilities Rectangle and Scallop Rectangle, Cuttlebug Paisley embossing folder
Accessories: Ribbon from stash.
Thank you for visiting my blog today. Please feel free to leave a message - I love to read them.
Have a great day.

Those rainy dull days are perfect for staying inside and stamping!!!
This is very pretty Clare - I love the elegance of simply using the white and yellow - it really suits the image.
All I can say about die cut machines is I have a cuttlebug and use both nesties and CB embossing folders fine in it and my friend has a big shot and uses both CB embossing folders and nesties too with great effect. I got the cuttlebug for space issues more than anything - but I think they are both equally as good :D
Hope it helps,

Hi Clare!
I love this card!
It is very pretty, stylish and fun at the same time. The embossed background finishes it off beautifully.

This is a great card Clare. So simple but really effective. Very eye catching. I need to do a simple card for my elderly neighbour who has had a fall and broken her hip. Hope she is ok, she is a very active and independent lady.

This is so pretty Clare. I have several die cutters including the wizard and cuttlebug but they are all redundant now I have the Bog Shot, best cutter ever IMO!
