Card - So Grateful Friend

Here is another friendship card I will be giving out. On this card I used the flowers and stems I had been experimenting with using the Kaisercraft Watercolor Friends stamp and die set. This set is a layering stamp set with 3 stamps for the flower and 2 for the leaves. The idea is to use one color, often the lightest, for the base shape and subsequently darker colors for the next layers. I used a lighter color for the base, darker for the petal definition, and instead of black or dark brown a metallic yellow. I ended up stamping the yellow 2 to 3 times to get the coverage I wanted. These stamps are pretty easy to line up and I like that the flower doesn't have a uniform shape as this makes it much easier to line the die up correctly.

Have a wonderful friend filled day!

Card - Smile for Coffee Friends

I made a set of 6 of these cards to give to friends. I only had 4 gold doilies so for 2 of the cards I painted a white doily, layered a die-cut heart doily over it, and then put the eyelet circle with the coffee element over that. I like the way the cards came out and hope the recipients like them.

Have a lovely day!
