Always Here for You - Simon Says Stamp Dear Friend Release

 Good morning! I'm dropping by to share another card using the NEWEST Dear Friend Release from Simon Says Stamp! Once again, I'm a bit behind sharing with this release - but today I'm sharing the final in a series of 3 cards using the same stamp set, but sharing some different ways to create a background to accent them.


Today's card may be my favorite of the entire bunch! I love this sweet image from the Caring Thoughts stamp set, and it was super fun to color with Copics, and that sentiment is just so sweet. For the background, I used some fun colors of Concord and 9th cardstock to coordinate with my coloring, the cut strips in 1/2" and 1/4" strips, and layered them tone on tone on top of each other. I used liquid glue, then lined them up on a panel of white cardstock. I matted the colored panel with some soft gray cardstock to help it pop, then adhered everything together. I finished with some coordinating enamel dots to carry the stripe theme into the center a bit, and add some fun interest. Here are some more photos of this card:
