Hello Pink and Main friends. It’s Donna here, and I have a sweet friendship card to share with you today. I love making background panels, so this card was a lot of fun to make.
I started with the Fun Lattice Stencil Set. There are four different layers you can use on this set, so it’s really versatile, but I just used two. First, I took the little star stencil and ink blended over it in a mid purple ink. I then moved the stencil across and ink blended again, this time in a lighter purple. I then moved to the heart die, and added this too. I used pink ink for the hearts, then once this was dry, I stamped through the stencil with watermark ink, before sprinkling over Icicle Embossing Powder and heat embossing it to give a sparkle to the hearts.
I cut this panel , and some purple cardstock using a stitched rectangle die. I then cut the Big Hugs Die four times from white cardstock, and the Big Hugs Background once from Vellum. I stuck three of the ‘hugs’ together, then stuck them to the top of the vellum with tape. (glue warps the vellum) I also put one ‘hugs’ under the vellum too, to lift if off the paper and give the pattern underneath a more hazy feel. The secondary sentiment from the Friendship Stamp 3 was stamped an heat embossed in white on black paper.
As a final touch, I added Ballroom Gems to the centres of the purple stars, wherever I could squeeze them on! This card has lots of sparkle, lots of dimemsion, and lots of love included.
I look forward to sharing another card with you soon!
Blessings
Donna
