I made this card for my daughter to give to her flatmate who has now finished university here and has returned to France to go on to bigger and better things I am sure :-)  I know that they will both miss each other, they have been like sisters since they were about 13.

I love embossing paste !! have you got some ? It is my all time fave product I think ! I squidgied some Doll Pink Ink onto a craft mat and smooched in the embossing paste and some bead glitter gel,, love this too ,, so sparkly. I then used a Simon's Exclusive Medium Dot Stencil to create the background. 


I used a Hero Arts Friend Definition background stamp for the postage stamp die cut, quite fitting I thought ,, haha. This Freckled Fawn Grey Airmail Washi is also a fave , as is the Irridescent String and the Woodgrain Cardstock,,, ss you can see I used a few faves today ,,, and the Plane Die ,,, yep that too  :-)
