Friendship Wall Hanging

Yesterday was my friend and co-teacher's birthday! Because we were out of school for snow, I couldn't give her her present until today. Part of her gift is this friendship wall hanging that I made with the Friendship stamp set (February's stamp of the month). I just kept playing with the design until I got something I liked. I hope she likes it too!

The base is a piece of chipboard from the My Creations All-Sorts mini album. The colors I used are Sky and Outdoor Denim. I hadn't paired these two colors together before, and I really like how they look together. Obviously Traci likes blue, but I selected these two because I had embellishments that matched!

On this close up, can you see how I added a bit of Create-A-Shade pearlescent paint to the bird after I sponged it with Sky ink?

Happy birthday, Traci!
