Miss Pinks Craft Spot

Hello and welcome to the weekend crafty friends. Today I'm sharing my design for the latest card swaps I participated in with the Crazy Crafters. I totally lost track of time and needed to create 10 cards in one evening to post the next morning.

Things started simple enough, a strip of Pale Papaya cardstock and a strip of Friendly Hello DSP . Next I stamped bird image from the Friendly Hello stamp set , then die cut before adding the sentiment from Friends are like Seashells stamp set .

To finish I added some Matte Black Dots and some Blank and White twine. T...
