BFF

 Hope you all had a very nice weekend.
Yesterday, hubby and I hung out with his cousins.  It's ALWAYS a lot of fun catching up with everyone. 
 
Today I'm sharing this card I made using the "BFF" image by Sister Stamps from their most recent release.  HOW CUTE IT THAT????  
 
I used washi paper which I won from Lynn a few months ago for the background and kiminos (paper-pieced).  THANKS LYNN!!!  The matching trim on the kimonos were also paper-pieced which I cut very slowly.  :-)    Other supplies:  Spellbinder dies, flowers by Prima and Wild Orchid, BFF die cuts from Island Scrapbooking (so perfect for this image), Copics, Distress ink, dog image by Dandelion Designs, leaf punch by EK, grass stamp by Viva Las Vegasstamps, butterfly punch (no name), and pearls by Kaiser Crafts.
 
 Here's a close-up.....



I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Love to Create - "Challenge 34 - Anything Goes"

You made another beautiful card with the Sister Stamps. :) You are a pro now at making cards using their stamps. I especially like how you paper pierced their kimonos and used a special kind of rope for one of their obis. Were your eyes super tired after doing the paper piercing?:) BTW, the washi paper that you won is beautiful.
