Girlfriend Coffee Chat

I am truly blessed to have excellent girlfriends in my life. They are the sisters I always prayed for. So many of their, and my own, lives have been touched by cancer. During October's Breast Cancer Awareness focus, I am reminded of how precious these women are and how grateful I am to call them friend. This card is dedicated to the women who have always stood by my with support, respect, and love.

TIP: Use colorless blender and a scrap of fabric to give faux texture to your images. I used a scrap of denim fabric soaked in Copic colorless blender to create the pattern on the girls pants.

365 Cards Day 199 ~ A Year to Remember
I was inspired by the year 2010. After my mom died 9/15/09, I had to go through over a year of very difficult circumstances. If it weren’t the love and support of my friends (who I consider my true family); it would have been even more difficult.
