Happy You're My Friend

One of my dearest friends here is moving very far away, and I don't know if I'll ever see her again. This is a happy move for her, so I'm glad for her, but I will miss her! I made this card with a stamp set that I recently got from Simon Says Stamp

I really want to get out my watercolors and play with them, but when I'm in a hurry, it's always my Distress inks, because I know the colors so well.

I stamped and embossed the image with gold embossing powder onto watercolor cardstock first. Then I applied Distress ink to several acrylic blocks and added a little water to paint with them. At the end I flicked a little color and stamped the sentiment, also from the same set.

I added a few gems and that's it! I think there is a lot you could do with this set, and I plan to use it more in the future.
