Guest Designer for All About Papercraft Challenge #7 - Friendship


Hello there.  I’m excited to be guest designing (GD) this month at All About Papercraft (AAP) for their challenge #7 - FRIENDSHIP


My card was based on sentiment “if friends were flowers, I’d pick you”, but I could not find that stamp anywhere! 😟  So a recent favourite from the Sweet Friendship stamp set by Simon Says Stamp (SSS) replaced it for my card.  


That sentiment was stamped on Bristol paper next with Versafine Onyx Black ink and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  Wiped off excess ink with a paper towel (embossed resist)  The rest of the main products were from Spellbinder.(SB).  An arch and matching frame were die cut from Bristol paper using the Essential Arches dies.  On the arch cutout, Salvaged Patina distress ink was ombré ink blended from the top before mounting the frame on top.  


The Cascading Coneflowers flowers, foliage and embossed Cascading Dots background were created during this daisy bouquets card.  To give the leaves/stems better dimension, they were coloured with Copic Sketch markers (YG61/63/67)   Assembled the card onto a white card base t finish


I want to thank Kerry and the AAP design team (DT) for having me as a GD.  Need more inspiration from the DT to join in the fun? Check it out HERE.  Please note compensated affiliate links were used throughout this post at no extrxcost

A stunning card, Trina! Beautiful colouring of the flowers and I really feel that sentiment, it's lovely. We're so pleased to have you guesting with us for our July challenge. Kerry, All About Papercraft challenges
