Homemade Friendship Card
Hello Stampers ~ an adorable Homemade Friendship Card is my share today.
Are you like me and love walking on the beach and collecting seashells? I used the great images in the Friends are Like Seashells stamp set to collect some paper seashells on my card today.
Homemade cards are the perfect way to send a hug in the mail. Everyone loves a handmade card as it shows how special the receiver is to you. This card is a great idea for the beach lover friend you have.
I pulled out some of the Fine Art Floral patterned paper that looked like water to me to a panel. Isn’t it great that sometimes we can use our paper in ways other than what they were designed for? I think that paper looks like an underwater scene.
To give the appearance of the different colors you can find underwater I used the reinkers on Vellum with an alcohol spritz to blend the colors. I tried the marker first but I did not like the scribble lines that were left so decided to try the reinkers. So glad I did! The strip was added to the panel using double sided tape. Some Linen Thread was used to create a bow.
All the seashells were stamped on white using 3 shades of brown. I then used the 2 lighter shades to color them with blending brushes and pulled in some pinky coral to add a bit of color.
The Stitched Rectangles dies created the 2 panels for the front of the card. That stitching and linen thread are the added touches that takes this Homemade Friendship Card over the top!
Look at this adorable friendship card that uses bright fun colors. Check out this video for a pretty yellow friendship card that used a frame!
If you are wondering what supplies I used, here is your shopping cart so you can order the same supplies to make your card. If you need help placing an order, let me know and I will be glad to help you.
I hope I inspired you today to pull out this stamp set and collect some paper shells for your Friends Are Like Seashells card. Have a Sensational Sunday!
