Friends

Hello Everyone, happy Thursday!


Today's card was inspired by two of my favorite challenges ~ Stacey's Curtain Call Color Challenge 42 and Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 80. I was also inspired by a fellow blogger friend Chat ~ Me My Stamps and I ~aka Nitestamper who had originally cased my card ~ I'm here for You! Here is Chat's card. I LOVED the colors that Chat used to re-create my card and they just so happened to be very similar to this week's colors Stacey chose for her Color Challenge!
