Friends Hangin' Together

Welcome

I needed a card for an older teen girl, and came across an old magazine with these freebies in it.
I must admit it was a very 'easy' make to take the papers and images and layer them up.


I used a red card base, added a white layer, and then the spotted paper.


There were several variations of the main image, so I decided to use one to spotlight the girl with the dog - partly because the recipient has dark hair.


I added some deeper shading to the skin of the image, and also some more black to the hair to hint at the ethnicity of the recipient. 
The edges of all the image panels were wiped over a red ink pad to give them definition.


The stamp I used for the sentiment is an old one, embossed with  gold glitter ep on a hand cut, 
double ended fishtail banner

    I love this card for a teen girl Maxine! The image is so cute and I love the added color you gave the one gal. I also love how you gave focus to the gal with popping up part of her image. Looks great! Loving that dotted paper too. Such a fun, sassy and festive card. I know the teen will love it! Hugs, Brenda

    Lovely card Maxine. I like the touches you added to personalise it for the recipient. I'm sure she will appreciate the extra effort you put into the card. What a great find in your old magazines. I wonder what I'd find if I looked through some of mine.

    A truly delightful card Maxine, and one which I am sure the recipient enjoyed. I love the girl images, they are so useful for teenagers cards and the kind of images I really like. Well done on the little touch ups you made to it and what lovely layering.
    Blessings, Neet xx
