To A True Friend


 Happy Friday Peeps!


Yesterday I had the urge to do some coloring and I pulled out this long ago retired set called Indescribable Gift. I loved this image in this set and haven't used it in a long time.

I stamped the image with Black Stazon onto thick Basic White cardstock and colored using my water brush and ink pads. I haven't used this method in awhile and it felt good to create and color with no purpose in mind. I used Flirty Flamingo for the flowers and Pear Pizzazz for the leaves.

 

 
I used some Early Espresso on the branch and did a light wash with Coastal Cabana around the image.
I embossed the image using the Tasteful Textures EF. I really love the look of using a Embossing Folder on the image after coloring.
The base of the card is Flirty Flamingo and the DSP across the bottom is from the Brights 6x6 pack that will be in the upcoming new annual catalog.

 
The sentiment comes from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set.
I finished by wrapping some white twine around the card a few times and tied a double bow and adding three little pearls.
 

Listed below are the "ingredients" used to make this project.
