The One Where You're Awesome!

 Hello Everyone!

Michelle from the Design Team and this week I am super excited to share a fun and heartwarming pop-up box card with the sweetest little friends gathered together for a cosy catch-up. Any guesses to what inspired this?!

Supplies used:

Hey There Critters

Sofa & Lamp - Home Is Where the Heart Is

Fountain - Birthday Cake

Umbrellas - Rain or Shine Mice

I started with a pop-up box card base using a rich purple cardstock which adds a lovely depth to the scene. I then ink blended a grass panel and gave it a light splatter to add texture and interest.

For the background, I created a magical night sky using ink blending in blues and purples. I added some gold and white splatters for a touch of starlight sparkle, and tucked in a layered city skyline to set the scene. 

Right in the centre is of course the fountain that was created from some strategic frankensteining from the top of the wine bottle and partial stamping of the cake stand from the Birthday Cake stamp set. I hand drew the water coming out of at top and added some glitter to give it the extra shimmer. I did think about not including the fountain but I love how it brings the whole design together and gives it that extra special touch!

The real stars of the show are the adorable critters all coloured in with alcohol markers, all snuggled up on the comfiest yellow couch (I forgot what the original colour was!) I couldn’t forget about adding some of the extra details like the lamp and the colourful umbrellas in this iconic scene. I’ll let you decided which critter is which famous character!

For the sentiment, I made a custom one based on the naming convention of each of the episodes using a white gel pen on a banner cut from black cardstock.

I absolutely loved making this Friends inspired card! Could it BE any cuter and I hope it brought a smile to your face!

Thanks for reading,

Michelle
