A Best Friend - Two Ways

Good morning, Junkies!  It's Holly posting today.  I love this stamp from Technique Junkies called A Best Friend.  This is a single stamp so the flower and the sentiment are together as one stamp.  I inked this up with a permanent black ink and stamped it on white cardstock and let it dry.  Then I colored the flowers with Copic markers and brushed the edges of the white cardstock with some soft brown ink.  

If you wanted to try something different, mask off the words and stamp the flower by itself.  Then clean the stamp, mask off the flower, and stamp the words over the previously stamped flower.  That's what I did on this blue floral card below.  

If you're really brave, you could cut the two images apart, but I'm not that brave.  LOL!  By masking off one side or the other, I can retain the original stamp but have the flexibility to just stamp the flowers  or the sentiment.  I think I might need to buy another A Best Friend stamp just so I can cut it apart.  :-)
