Faithful Friend

Friday, I had a great day with a faithful friend. She has been my friend for.....( gulp) 30 years. We went to see her secret crush, Capt Jack in the new Pirate of the Caribbean movie (LOL), shared a wonderful dinner and talked and talked. This image from Dezinaworld reminded me of a 1980s cool chick and of my  friend. I know the style is different than my usual, being bold and graphic but change is good. Don't you think? The technique is from Tim Holtz and part of the Grungy Monday #7 Distress ink color blocking challenge.The lovely Linda hosts this challenge at Studio L3. Come visit and have some fun too.

To make this I color blocked the tag then attached the transparency image after using a hole punch. Added the faithful friend vellum. Made a square rosette and centered it with a distressed big  turq brad, paper circle and 3 square gems. Edged the tag with a sharpie, tied on some dotted ribbon and she was off to go clubbing.

Remember to take time with a faithful friend this week.
always, gerri

  4. Gerri,
    Doesn't matter what style you work with you never fail to impress.
    It certainly captures the '80's with the style and colours.

  13. Yes, it's lovely to frolic in change for a bit .. never know what you are going to find there. Love the 'graphicness' of this tag .. very dramatic in it's own right. Take care. Donna

  14. Ooo, I love how this tag turned out. A great effect with the color blocking -- both on the tag AND the gal. Love it! Nice flair with the square rosettes too. Thank you for your sweet comments on my blog, and the help with printing digis. I'm taking your advise and I'm planning on giving it a try...hopefully this week.
