Life is Better with Flowers of Friendship

Today I have a card featuring the Flowers of Friendship stamp set. It hasn’t been used in a while, so I figured it was time break it out again.

This card was created with two card challenges in mind. I will be playing along with both The Tic Tac Toe challenge #172 and the Paper Players (PP602), who also happen to be doing a tic tac toe challenge.

I am using the bottom row across on the first one and the middle row across on the second one.

Now, on to making the card.

To make the card

• Begin with a 5 ½” x 8 ½” piece of Balmy Blue cardstock, score and fold at 4 ¼” to form your card base.
• Adhere a 4” x 5 ¼” piece of Basic Gray cardstock to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue (MLG).
• Cut a 3 7/8” x 5 1/8” piece of Awash in Beauty designer series paper (DSP) with your Paper Trimmer. Adhere to the card using MLG.

• Stamp your flower image, your sentiment, one large and one small flower, and two large and two small leaves on a piece of Shimmery White cardstock using Stazon black ink.
• Color your flowers and leaves with your Water Painter and the following inks; Daffodil Delight, Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, Melon Mambo, and Sweet Sorbet.

• Using your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine and the Deckled Rectangles dies, crop the large flower with the 4^th largest die, and the sentiment with the 2^nd smallest die. Once your sentiment has been cropped, place it back on your cutting platform and crop it again to make the rectangle smaller.

• Adhere the sentiment to the flower, slightly overlapping on the bottom right corner, using MLG. Then, attach it to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

• Punch the flowers and leaves out with the Flowers & Leaves punch.
• Adhere two leaves to each flower as shown using MLG.

• Attach the two flowers to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals. (hint- since part of where you are placing them is already on Dimensionals, place two Dimensionals stacked together in the areas where there are none.)

• Attach three Glossy Dots as shown.

I would love to hear from you. What do you think of my Flowers of Friendship entry for the tic tac toe challenges?
