Path of Positivity A Bit More Friendship

Halfway through our Friendship challenge at Path of Positivity and time to share my midway creation. I love the sentiment on this card because no matter what people think, money does not buy love or friendship, at least not the authentic type. You only have to look at the recent increase in suicides of young 'celebrities' to see that. It is not just a cliché, many of the loneliest people are also the richest.

Charles Darwin summed it up with the words:  A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth. It is worth pointing out that Darwin was writing in a time when people had fewer friends, instant communication and fast travel were still things for the future, but those friendships were much more lasting and authentic, it took some effort to maintain them.

I challenge you to think about the friends you have, sort out the ones that you know you can depend on to be there with you through all the twists and turns of life. When you have done that perhaps you could make a friendship card for them and before you send it off enter it into our challenge. See that gives you a reason for entering and made you think about your friends. 😃


Materials used:  
Bugaboo Digi Stamps - Mini Set Roses
roses designer paper from stash
fancy frame die
stitched rectangle die
7" x 5" card blank
X-Press It card

On the dragonfly wings I tried to use the tip to tip method to blend two different colours into each other but I think I may have overworked it, the purple colour looks more orange than purple!
