Stampin' Up! Botanical Bliss Friend Card - Pretty Paper Cards - stampinup

Hi! I’m so glad you stopped by today! This card was created for the Global Design Project Color Challenge, and the colors we are using this week are so pretty together!  

The Botanical Bliss stamp set is one of my favorites in the annual catalog. I love the flowers and the sentiments, and the leaves 🙂 I thought it would look great with these colors.

The flowers were stamped in Melon Mambo ink and then colored in with a Blender Pen. A Blender Pen has a bit of alcohol in the tip and after you press it on the ink pad to obtain some ink, you can apply more or less to your project. This allows you to create a darker or lighter look, as I have on the flowers below. 

The background behind the flowers is a piece of How Sweet It Is Designer Series Paper underneath a piece of Vellum. I love the softness of the vellum 🙂

The “friend” sentiment was stamped over and over across a 1″ strip of Whisper White card stock using Coastal Cabana ink. Then a little piece of white baker’s twine was tied around the strip.
