Frienship isn't a Big Thing.....

Hallo lieve allemaal,

Vandaag een kaart gemaakt met de allernieuwste Quietfire Design stempels en (prachtig als altijd) Spellbinders stanzen.
De Quietfire stempel heet Friendship isn't a Big Thing en is verkrijgbaar in de Quietfire Design webshop.
Ik vind het een schitterende tekst...perfect om iemand te laten weten hoe je hem/haar waardeert.
Zo waar....ik vind dat het de kleine dingen in het leven zijn die zo belangrijk zijn...een simpel telefoontje, een sms-je of een kaartje om iemand te laten weten dat je aan hem/haar denkt in bijzondere of moeilijke tijden....de meest kostbare geschenkjes in het leven naar mijn mening....
Deze kaart kun je ook vinden op de Quietfire blog (klik hier) en op de GeWe blog (klik hier)

Hello everyone,
 Today I have made a card using one of the brandnew Quietfire Design stamps: Friendship isn't a Big Thing. Also used some of the very latest (gorgeous as ever) Spellbinders.
I love this sentiment...it's perfect for letting someone know how you appreciate him/her.
So true....I always say it's the little things in life that count...just a phonecall, a simple text message or just a tiny present to let someone know how much you care about him/her or to let him/her know that you're thinking about about them in special or difficult times.... those are indeed the most precious gifts in life I think....
This card is also to be found on the Quietfire blog (click here)
The card I made is all about simple layering of die-cuts and to soften the card I used gold ink for stamping.

Gebruikte materialen
Used materials:

• Quietfire Design: Friendship isn't a Big Thing (#5852)
• Spellbinders®:  Fancy Diamond (S4-526), Decorative Fancy Diamond (S4-527) ,  Matting Basics A (S6-001) ,  Elegant Labels Four (S6-005)

Yvonne

Both your cards are just stunning. I love that you used the Romantic Vines as the background of 5cards. So creative and yet each card is very different. I love the gold Romantic Vine card. I would send it to my widowed 83 year old mother for her 84th birthday in September. She has been widowed not quite 2 years and was married nearly 64 years.I know she would appreciate the elegance and beauty of the card. Thank you for your tutorial
