Back story:
As a "supportive" wife, I sometimes attend car shows with my husband. This usually involves his car, some lawn chairs, and a book for me. He and I walk around once together, look at all the cars. Then I go back to our car, and read - while he goes around again, and again, and again - looking over all the cars in some detail, and talking to all the other motor heads.
One summer evening we went to a car show by the beach. One of my hub's friends showed up with his wife. My book for that night was actually a Stampin Up catalog. I had not yet met Karin. But she was interested in learning about my stamping and scrapbooking hobby.
Long story, short -- we started taking Scrapbook classes together; and have become good paper-crafting friends. She makes the most amazing scrapbook pages -- all lace and layers.
Karin occasionally buys double of things (so do I) and cleans out her craft room. I sometimes get the benefit of this. Yesterday, her hubby dropped of a bag of goodies -- which I used some of to create this card for her. The paper and stamps were all from Karin.
Card Information:
I used the Hero Arts large lotus background stamp, stamped with Versamark and clear embossed on the text paper. Then I sponged distress inks over the clear embossing. I cut this panel, and layered a piece of gray dot paper underneath. Then layered this onto the green paper. I can't tell you any of the paper companies, as they were loose papers. The circle and FRIENDS stamps are by Technique Tuesday. I stamped the circle on acetate with Stazon and cut that out. "Friends" was white embossed and layered onto the clear acetate. Then added this with pop dots.
I used the sketch from CASE this Sketch and the flower burst from Runway Challenge

The colors are from Color Throwdown
And at A Blog Named Hero the challenge is to use layers or dimension on your card.
