I have many stamps and sentiments that would work for this challenge and would have fit the mood board perfectly, but I chose to use one of my new Stampendous Laurel Burch stamps called "Leopard Jungle", which includes these three parrot friends.
Our mood board:
The team votes on favorites, but there is also a prize for a random winner:
You may wonder where the leopards are in this Leopard Jungle stamp. Well, it's a large stamp and I used only the top half of it. Alternatively, I could color only the bottom half where the leopards are, or I could color the whole thing. It's like three stamps in one. A bargain!
Colorful, isn't it? I used Copics on X-Press It Blending Card, and some DCWV Animal Crackers designer paper. A frame made with Die-namics Wonky Stitched squares, and accented with Die-namics Wild Greenery dies. Nothing subtle here at all. It took some time to apply all these different colors, but sometimes you just have to let it go.
I hope you can join us with your version of a friendship card. There is a nice variety of inspiration by the team on the Double D blog. Have fun, and enjoy your day!

Love all the bright beautiful colours of your card. Your jungle scene is so incridible and that background colouring is spectacular.
This tropical and bright colored card is just right for a Florida scene. I am trying to get more of those into my stock. You are so right, friends are one of life's most valued treasures. Thanks for being in my tribe.
I have to start off by saying that celebrating friends is a wonderful thing to do! And I am so grateful that you've become one of mine, with our frequent blog visits and that truly is a treasure that brightens my day so often.
SO many things to love about this card! First off I noticed the bold colors - pink (or red) and that gorgeous lime green frame. WOW! The multi-colored leaves are my favorite and the dots - a fabulous detail! The parrots are the cutest huddled together amidst all the greenery. I can just feel the fun you must have had making this, Leslie. Love it!
Oh, Leslie! I LOVE every inch of this card, and the colors and your coloring are fabulous! Love the vibrancy and the adorable image! Your colors are so beautiful with the layout, and the green frame is perfect. Just love this DP and the sweet array of tropical leaves! LOVE this card, my friend! And, yes, friendship is something to be cherished. Hugs and love, my friend! xoxo
