Missing You Far Away Friend

Hello, today I am posting up a cute spring card for a friend that I am missing as she has moved away for school. This card I made is inspired by Retro Sketches #109 and Color Throwdown #287. I used one of my go to stamp sets 'For the Birds' and colored it to coordinate with the colour combo of Pistachio Pudding,  Barely Banana,  Soft Sky, Very Vanilla,  and Crumb Cake. I made some candy dots using a punch and crystal effects. Again I dyed my crochet trim ribbon because I didn't have Barely Banana ribbon and thought a bit more yellow would help balance out the colours on the card. I embossed the flag to add dimension and texture. I added a oval layer for more shape differentiation and matted them on a piece of First Edition DSP. I hope you like my card.

 

Here is a close-up of some of the card's details that I made myself.

 

Here is the sketch, colour combo and inspiration.

  

Thanks for stopping by,
