Today I have a cute Friendship card to show using a set I LOVE from the Spring Mini called “Great Friend” It has so many images that appeal to me, To start off with I love, love, love Butterflies my love of Butterflies started when I was a little girl and my Dear little Grandma gave my a glittery Brooch in a Butterfly shape and I remember how much I loved it and in fact I still have it is my treasure box with other items that mean a lot to me, Grandma kept the Butterfly thing going once she realised how much I treasured the Brooch she gave me by getting me magnets and stickers as little gifts. Its funny the small highlights we remember from our childhood because I am sure Grandma had no idea that small gift would form into such a strong memory for me. … Anyway Moving on…. {focus Teneale}
I have also used the leaf image in this set for the background stamping it in VersaMark, It’s great how Stampin’ Up! Co-ordinate images within a set for example the leaf I have used on the background is also in the Butterfly wing detail {love that} AND I really love having Co-ordinating Printed Papers…. I have used the Printed Papers on the scallop. To create the scallop I punched out a bunch of Circles using my 1” circle punch and attached them along the outside of a larger circle making a lovely scallop circle.
As you can see this card has a little secret pocket by pulling the little bow in the top corner, a special message is revealed…. I love designing cards with a little surprise. The stamp I have used for the “True Friend” is from the Friendly Words wheel that I took off the wheel and cut up to make a Fabulous Friendship Greeting set, To see how I did that scroll down to the next post of click here.
