Tsunami Rose challenge 22 Friendship

Hi everyone , welcome once again to my little bit of blogland ! I hope that you are all well and happy. Today I have finished off a project that I have been sewing and as soon as the person it is for receives it I will pop a picture up to show you all.
Its Wednesday and that means it is time for a brand new challenge over at Tsunami Rose. We the DT have had some gorgeous elements to work with from the Ephemera Samplers collection designed by Daisy Collins owner /designer of Tsunami Rose . There are some amazing prizes on offer again this week ( see details below). So without further ado I have to share with you today a card that I have created for the challenge and I hope you like it.



Goodies Used
 
Base: 6x6 card blank covered with pastel green gingham cardstock and layered with paper from the Spring Medley collection designed by Janette Padley from Stamping With The Dragon designs
Topper:Friends are chosen family element from the Ephemera Samplers collection at Tsunami Rose
Rose flowers: I created these using paper from the Parisian Daydream collection from Tsunami Rose
Embelishments: Gold edged Pink satin ribbon and pink and gold card candi both from my stash
I have tried to keep this card fairly minimal as I think that it shows the sentiment topper better.
 
We love to see what you create for the challenge each week so why not pop over to the challenge blog and enter for your chance to win one of the amazing prizes that are on offer this week! and don't forget the Tsunami Rose FB group where there is lots of fun, chat and crafty inspiration.
