Today's cards are all about our best friends. Whether it's a boy and his dog, or two middle-aged mamas, let's not forget to celebrate the people we love and the friendships we share. The new stamps I'm sharing today will make it easy to celebrate all the friendships in our lives!

TIP: If you start out with a layer of white pencil first, it really makes the colors POP as you color. (I added some more white for highlights after coloring too.)
Stamps on Best Friends card:
Next up, a card to celebrate another friendship that means so much - GIRLFRIENDS! Put a bunch of women together, and no doubt there will be laughter and hugging, right?! This slimline card fits in a standard business envelope so it's easy to mail. I used colored pencils again for this one but I also did a little bit of paper-piecing to add some subtle pattern to some of the clothes. Super fun and not too tough, if you don't mind a little bit of fussy cutting.
One more fun detail - I have been using a white gel pen a LOT lately, and I added some details around the sentiment. Kind of fun, right!?
Stamps on Hey Soul Sister card:
