Here’s my first go with the Beautiful Friendship Stamp Set, this Beautiful Friendship Floral Card. It was a stamp set that I kind of missed at first, then when I noticed it, I ordered it right away.
I did the easiest thing……just stamped to play with the stamps. Remember to put a little cushion underneath these photopolymer stamps for the best image. I used the Stampin’ Pierce Mat and of course, using the Stamparatus is always a good idea so you can re-stamp if you don’t get a good impression at first.
When I went to get my paper out, I thought I would use Melon Mambo, one of my favorite colors but I haven’t used it much recently. However, when I saw Poppy Parade on top, I just chose that and grabbed some Daffodil Delight for a layer behind the Whisper White. See! You don’t always have to have everything planned out when you make a card!
The flowers are stamped in Poppy Parade with Granny Apple Green leaves. Then I thought I would add some extra flowers with Highland Heather and Daffodil Delight. When I was finished, I realized probably some of those stamps were really meant to stamp the inside of the flowers, but I was finished and happy with my card so I didn’t go back! I’ll have to try to make them more authentic next time!
Since I didn’t leave myself much room for a greeting, I used one from my other new stamp set, Modern Heart. I have to play with that stamp set, too! Sometimes it is nice to “just stamp” and not die-cut or embellish or color in or whatever. Just simple! I think this Beautiful Friendship Stamp Set will produce lots of gorgeous cards and has very nice sentiments as well!
