More Forever Friends

Image
I used the same layout as before but this time I downloaded the backing paper from Pink Petticoat Rainbow Doodles & Blooming Doodles - curly. The inside of the card is decorated with balloon peel off stickers. I think decorating the inside of the cards is really effective and it is something that I will continue to do in the future.

Although the photo doesn't really show it, this Forever Friends image came from the "Let's Celebrate" Decoupage Card Kit. I mounted the image onto a panel that I embossed using the Happy Birthday embossing folder. The red and white checked backing paper comes from my stash. After seeing many samples of cards on the DoCrafts gallery, I was inspired to decorate the inside of my card using the same backing paper as the front and the additional strawberry images from the decoupage sheet.

Once I had decided to use Carol's layout and colours, it took me ages to decide which colours etc to use but now that it's finished I am really pleased with the outcome. I hope you like it too. Thank you Carol for organising th
