A Fond Farewell

Recently a very dear friend of mine has decided to leave this beautiful part of Scotland and return back to her home town of Pontefract.  Julie and I have been close friends for about 7 years now and have really been through the run of the mill together.  We have shared a lot of good times and a lot of bad times together but we have always been there for each other.  Both of our boys have grown up together and have been the best of friends and her son Nathan is like a part of our family as he has spent so much time at our house.  As I have only got the one child, Nathan has been great company for David and he has even come on holiday a few times with us.  We will all miss them terribly but hope to visit them regularly as they will not be too far away from my in-laws :)

I have used this weeks Sugar Bowl challenge using Maria Therese's sketch to make a leaving card for them.


As you are already aware I am a massive fan of Sugar Nellie's  Simply Sassy stamps (which can be purchased here) and thought this stamp, Travel Lite, was perfect for this card.  I have used Promarkers to colour in the image and tried Jenny Trumans little tip for shading using a grey colouring pencil.  I am quite pleased with the results :)  


What do you think?  Please feel free to leave a comment :)
