This is my beloved and this is my friend

My hubbie has been a darling lately, so I made him this collage. It might just be because I helped him set up a new Etsy shop to sell his car art! LOL. When it's all set up,  I  will give you a peek on my blog. After making this piece, I saw that The Stampsmith challenge blog is looking for  Friends TSC#16  for their bi weekly challenge and Simon Says Stamp and Show  is on the hunt for "Metal" in their weekly challenge.  So I said what the heck and entered them both!

I used a Stampsmith stamp from the Flapper series #3 and watercolored it. There ia a layer of patterned paper, music notes, transparency and a vellum sentiment. I added a chipboard frame and butterflies. Some metal flowers colored with Ranger Alcohol ink and some green ribbons finish this  piece for my best friend!

Hope you can spend some time with a  best friend this week.
artfully yours, gerri

    Just adore it, Gerri! The metal flowers are very lovely and add just a touch of masculine. Very beautifully done, as always. I enjoy your work so much. Where, may I ask, do you find metal flowers? Can't wait to see your husbands car art. hugs, Donna

    Gerri, your Blog needs to come with a safety notice as everytime I visit I fall off my seat!
    When I decided on the theme I wanted to see art that depicted what friendship meant for the artist and I couldn't have asked for more from this piece of art. Gorgeous details.
    Good Luck with the Prize Draw and thank you so much for participating once again.
    Wishes
    Lynne
