Julie Rocks

My upline, Julie Davison, really rocks.  She does so much for her downline, including me.  I know she’s been feeling a little overwhelmed lately for various reasons.  So in an attempt to brighten her day and show my appreciation, I sent her this card out of the blue.  I love the tattoo-like look of the Friends Rock stamp set, especially since it has a coordinating wheel called Rockin’.  I used the Stampin’ Up! Two Tags Bigz Die to create the fancy orange piece on the left, using the slit opening as a “holder” for my white cardstock piece.  I cut the tag so that only the left side was used.  The orange piece on the right is just a piece of orange cardstock tucked under the white so the piece looks continuous.  My white cardstock piece was a little plain, so I drew stitch lines on the right side with my marker.
