Cherished Friendship - Hero Arts

Cherished Friendship

Hi everyone! Ilina here with my take on the current Stay Crafty with Hero Challenge which is to create friendship cards.

I love the sentiment from the Dreams Will Blossom set and I think it's perfect for friendship cards.

To make the card start with a piece of Pebble cardstock measuring 4" x 5 1/4". Using Embossing and Watermark ink, stamp the Eucalyptus Bold Prints background and emboss in white. Set aside.

On a piece of Dove White cardstock, stamp the flower from Protea Flowers set using Intens-ified Black Ink. Color using alcohol based markers and pencils. Die cut using the coordinating dies.

Stamp sentiment from Dreams Will Blossom on Pitch Black cardstock and emboss in white. Trim to size. Next, die cut one of the Rounded Rectangles Infinity Dies from Vellum Layering Paper. Assemble all the elements you have onto the Pebble background, add a few Neutrals Enamel Dots and adhere to a Dove White Top Folding note card.

We would love to see your friendship cards - enter the challenge between now and August 6!

Thank you so much for stopping by and hope you have an amazing day!
