A birthday card today made with a borrowed set of stamps. The stamp set was discontinued quite a while ago and I've been trying everywhere to find somewhere with it in stock. This weekend I managed to find a pre-loved set in an online 'Crafty Clear Out', so I'll be making lots more cards using these stamps.
The stamp set is Julie Hickey Designs 'Friendship Blooms' and includes the main image and the sentiment. The flower was coloured with Promarkers. I stamped the flower head again, coloured it with a lilac Promarker and fussy cut it. The second flower head was attached with glue in the middle and the petals raised up on foam pads to add some dimension. I added a green enamel dot to the centre. I used Memory Box 'Stitched Rectangle Layers' dies for matting and layering the image. The mat for the sentiment was hand cut.
I am joining in the following challenges:
