Sending Smiles

Hey everybody! Well, we’re a little more than half-way through the month and I hope you are seeing some warmer weather where you are. Although I love Winter and the snow, I’m waiting patiently (or not) for Spring, lol! I’m up on the Scrapbook Pal blog today sharing a tutorial for making a friendship card with a dimensional frame that features the Pinkfresh Studio Cheerful Blossoms Stamps, Stencils and Dies. I immediately fell in love with these products because – besides being florals (and who doesn’t love florals) – there are SO many occasions to use them for!

I stamped and inked the florals from the Pinkfresh Studio Cheerful Blossoms stamps on a panel of Neenah Fluorescent White Cotton cardstock in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the coordinating stencils along with peeled paint, crackling campfire, peacock feathers, fossilized amber, and vintage photo distress oxide inks. After inking, I re-stamped the florals in Versafine Onyx Black ink to darken up the outlines a bit, and then cut them apart with the coordinating dies.

I added a dimensional frame and then a stamped sentiment from the Altenew Dynamic Duo Blooming Branch Outline Stamps. I arranged all the inked florals and added a clear gemstone to the center of each flower for a little bling. Gotta have some bling! ;)

I added another inked floral and sentiment (from the same Altenew stamp set) on the inside, which completed the card.
