Friendship is Forever

It’s such a beautiful day here, and I wanted to have a card that was bright, cheerful, and fun to represent this beautiful day.  The card is was quick, but fun to make.  I added my own hand written greeting to the paper with my fountain pen  because I wanted something that curved around. 

Directions:

• Take some light blue CS (I used Cool Carribean which is retired) cut at 6″ x 7 1/2″ and score and fold @ the 3 3/4″ mark. Sponge the edges with some Tempting Turquoise Classic ink.
• Cut a piece of Whisper White  CS 1 1/2″ x 3 3/4″ and punch with your Scallop Trim Border punch.  Stick it to the Left hand underside of the card front.
• Cut a piece of Poppy Parade DP which is 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″.  Stick a strip of Whisper White 5/8″  Satin Ribbon to the back.  Next stick your Poppy Parade mat to the card front.
• Cut a 3″ circle from watercolour paper, and a 3 1/4″  circle of Concord Crush.
• On the Watercolour paper, stamp the daisy from the Every Moment stamp set, using Staz-On black ink.
• Watercolour the image with re-inkers.  I used Tempting Turquoise, Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango, Real Red, and Sahara Sand Classic ink.
• Add a greeting using a Medium point Fountain pen, or a black Stampin’Write marker
• Stick the image to the Concord Crush circle.  Add some detail with a White Gel pen.  Stick the circle to the card front using Stampin’Dimensionals. 
• Take a piece of 5/8″ White Satin ribbon and tie a faux knot.  You are done!
