My Sister, My Best Friend

Supplies:
Stamps:  Best Buds Brats
Paper:  Poppy Parade, Marina Mist, Whisper White, Poppy Parade DP.
Ink: Poppy Parade, Bordering Blue, Blush Blossom, Barely Banana, Summer Sun, Close to Cocoa
Accessories:  Scallop Oval Punch, Large Oval Punch, Small Heart Punch, Butterfly Embosslet, Hearts Embossing Folder, Satin Ribbon, Small Pearl, Paper Piercing Tool, Laughing Cow Cheese Container, Coluzzle, Swiss Dots Embossing Folder, Large Circle Punch, Large Scallop Circle Punch, Whisper White Grossgrain Ribbon, Dove Milk Chocolate Eggs.

This week's challenge at Totally Stampalicious is to make a card for your BFF.  My BFF also happens to be my identical twin sister Judy.  I also made an altered container to go with the BFF card.  I used the Best Buds Brats stamp set from Totally Stampalicious for this gift set.


 When my sister and I were little, our Mom always dressed us in matching outfits.  Judy always wore blue and I always wore red.  It only seemed right to color these little Brats girls in the same colors we wore growing up.  I used this week's Sweet Stop Sketch for the layout.  I had to move the sentiment a little  to make it work but I think it still counts!




 For the altered container, I started with an empty Laughing Cow Cheese container.  I decorated the edges with grossgrain ribbon.  The top matches the card with Poppy Parade and Marina Mist paper and satin ribbon.  I added a couple butterflies and of course the Best Friends image!  I filled the container with Dove Milk Chocolate eggs - YUMMY!




Thanks for stopping by and checking out my BFF gift set today!  Hopefully you will get a chance to play along with this week's Challenge at Totally Stampalicious!  Click HERE to see all the fabulous cards the design team created to inspire us this week!
