Friends for Life Thinking of You card

Friends for Life

I've now made a few cards using the Friends for Life bundle, and I have to say that this is my favorite card so far! I love how the DSP crackled, the little bit of white looks like shine to me.... making the dots look like droplets. I love that effect!
