Friendship

 Good Sunday morning all!  They do seem to come around quickly, don't they!  Another sample from my shows this past month, this one using the Hydrangea stamp set from Justrite.  I selected teal and white card as the combo on this card.  I stamped the hydrangea stamp all over the background using a Clear Perfect Medium pad.  I heat embossed them with white powder.  Using some green zircon seam binding, I wrapped it vertically around my card and taped the ends to the back and matted the background with a thin white mat.  For the focal element, I picked the Majestic Labels 25 and cut it in white.  I used the smaller sizes to emboss the design into the inside area of the die.  I stamped my sentiment from Creative Expressions stamp set called Sincere Sentiments in black Archival ink on white card.  I used a flourish from the Justrite set called Friendship Vintage Labels Seven as side accents.  Using the Justrite Vintage Labels seven die, I cut it out and inked it lightly with Broken China Distress ink before removing it.   I cut an additional die from teal card, cut it down the centre and used it as a shadow mat behind my sentiment.  I cut a Bitty Blossom flower from white felt and rolled it to complete my flower.  I seated it upon a messy bow tied from the green zircon seam binding.  I made two matching stick pins as accents.  I completed the card with a double white pierced mat and added a thin teal layer in the middle.  Finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8 1/4" in size.

By the way, some of you are emailing me that you are having issues trying to "pin" the cards.  It used to be that you hovered over the picture and the button would appear.  I had to disable that function when the videos started last year.  Now, the "pin it" button is at the end of every post, just scroll down to find it.   All you have to do is click that and it will open up a whole page of pictures and videos from the week and you can select any or all of the pictures or videos from the page to pin, the more the merrier!  If you are still having any problems, please email me at the address above.  All for now, Sue x
