Here's a card project I would like to share with you. I cherish my girlfriends! I work with a lot of them-they are a hard working group of women and I am amazed by their dedication every day. They are mostly teachers or associates who work closely with children ...
I would like those ladies to know how much I cherish knowing them, working next to them, and being able to call them "friends".
I created a "Thank You" flip card to share with one of them and ALL of you today:

Here's the "flip" side. 

I created this card using a Sizzix die, Hero Arts Stamps & Sizzix framelits dies, Simple Stories papers, Ranger liquid pearls , EK Success corner, tag, small corner, and label punches. I inked the edges using Ranger Distress ink. I'll write a personal message on the flip side later. 

Cardstock: Stamp School 8 1/2 x 11 Bubble Gum , Bazzill Kraft
Stamps & Dies: Sizzix/Hero Arts Floral Stamp and Die cut set
Inks: Stamp School Pop Tone Ink: Blue Raspberry, Ranger Distress Ink: Walnut Stain, Tsukineko Memento: Black Tuxedo
Markers: Copic
Flower Center Embellishments: Ranger Liquid Pearls in Buttercup, White Opal, and Mint Green,
