Ten years ago, when I moved to my town, I joined a reading group and made a good friend. Now, she's left me and cleared off to Yorkshire!
I used a Tando chipboard house and fence, coloured them with ink and stamped with a flourish stamp. I made a hill out of a page torn from a book we did at the reading group, which fell to pieces. The numbers in the sky are an Inkadinkado stamp. I masked off the edges of the card black and inked through a stone wall mask.
I'd like to enter:

In addition to that bookpage being a decorative element I think it's also a nice personal touch considering the history between the two of you. Great idea to paint and stamp the chipboard piece - I will try that, I've got so many plain chipboards laying around. A nicely put together scene!
What a great card ... Love that cute house ... Thanks so much for playing along at CCCB!!
Marina, this is such a thoughtful card for your friend, with the text from a book you read. And the flourish on the house is just gorgeous. Thanks for joining us at TIME OUT challenges x

Such a lovely card. I really love all the different elements you incorporated into your design. Thanks for joining us at Creative Knockouts this week. Good luck! Maggie, DT
Awww..how sad that your friend is moving, but I know you'll find ways to stay in touch! Your card: heart-warming, especially since you've used papers from books that the two of you connected over! She'll love it - and yes, I think some tears will be shed (I'm on the brink, knowing what it's like to have special people move away).
Hugs~c
