Feb. 7th…..Send a Card to a Friend Day!

Yes, today is "Send a Card to a Friend Day!"  Here's a card I made last night trying out my new Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set.  The greeting happens to be a retired hostess set from the last catalog, but it suited the purpose since it had the word "friend" in it.

I love these colors together:  Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip, and Whisper White.  I stamped the big flower in the lower right-hand corner, then stamped it again on scrap paper to make a mask.  I cut out the flower on the scrap paper and placed it over the stamped flower on my card.  Then I was able to ink up my stamp again and stamp the flower off to the left, as well as a different flower above.  I used my Aqua Painter to lightly watercolor the flowers with the Baja Breeze inkpad.  The greeting is stamped in Chocolate Chip.  The ribbon is the 1" Double-Stitched Grosgrain on page 178 of the new catalog.

So now, are you going to send a card to a friend today?
