Tree of Friendship

What do "friend" means! How you define a friendship? Perhaps as the co-operative and supportive behavior between two or more beings..I rather prefer to think that my friend is one who knows us, but loves us anyway.

For many years I have the blessing of being Friend with Marisol, and is the most amazing thing! We talk, we laugh, we cry together! I support her and she listen, never Judge and always have a right words to lift me up when I'm sad

This LO is for you My Dear Mari, because you are so dear to my heart..



This Lo was made with one of my favorite PPlines it comes from France and I just received yesterday! The look is kind of distress, I ink the paper and crumble it! add some stitching and new brads form K&Co, the tree is from Riff-Raff..below some more detail

I called this LO "Tree of friendship", because for me it represent our roots...strong...our branches were we mix our tears, laughs and sorrows. A friendship so strong that a hurricane could shake..but never break!





Here some extra detail of the K&Co new brads line...they are so cool!




And here a closer look of the tree and embellishments..I add some vintage heart and some fabric

Some New Creations!
