Friend

Hello everyone, Maria here with my step by step instructions on how I made the Friend card below

Here’s what you will need:

White stamping card

A5 Light Brown/tan card blank base

Black Card

Green card

Friend Wordage stamp by Colourific

A6 Leaves Stamp set by Coloyrific

Green Versafine Clare

lime green, sage green and light orange ink pads - I used Catherine Pooler Minis)

Glue/Double sided tape

Yellow and Orange Fineliners

Here’s how I made the card:

1.  Stamp the light orange and lime green ink pads onto a glass Matt or blending Matt, spritz with water and swoop the white stamping card through it until you get the desired effect.

2.  Dry the background sheet with a heat gun.

3.  Randomly stamp the leaves onto the background using the sage green ink pad.

4.  Using the green Versafine Clare inkpad, Stamp the word Friend onto a piece of white stamping card.  Cut down the card to frame the word.

5.  Colour the inside of the word Friend using the orange fineliner.

6.  Ink around the outside of the card using the lime green inkpad.

7.  Mat and layer into the black and green card.

8.  Mount the background sheet onto the tan card base and mount the topper into the background, cantering in the middle.

9.  Stamp the butterfly onto a separate piece of card and colour using the fineliners.

10.  Bend back the wings and glue the middle of the butterfly above the ‘e & n’ of the word friend.

Hope you enjoy making your card and that your friend likes it too.  Keep your eyes on the blog for more ideas and inspiration using the Colourific stamp sets.
