Visible Image friendship

 Hi everyone, it's time for my next blogged design team make for Visible Image. The theme for our makes this week is "friendship" and I am using the Blooming Fabulous stamp set with the Atmospheric stencil from the new Love of Nature release. This stamp set is perfect for a friendship birthday card.

I started off with a blue distress ink background from my stash made with distress spray stains. I positioned the circles part of the stencil over the card and blended lumberjack plaid distress through it. I moved the stencil down and repeated.

Using the text stamp I added some extra interest to the background using lumberjack plaid and salty ocean distress ink.

I also stamped one of the sentiments in black at the top of the card. 

To make the "flower" I stamped the bloom on white card using red ink and cut it out. I also stamped the best and friend words onto a scrap of white card and created a "stalk". I added some extra red ink detailing. 

Using a button and twine I added a fun centre to the bloom and attached the "stalk"

To put my design together I glued the bloom onto the background, distressed the edges, matted it onto red card and then onto a white card blank. 

 

Here is a close up of the bloom.

and one last shot of my card.

It was fun to turn the bloom into a whole flower for my card.  Adding the text stamping details also  creates a lovely background to show it off. This really is a special floral birthday card for a special best friend.

Fairy tale forest stencil

Party time 

and fond expressions 2

This is what I got up to; I stamped the fond expressions 2 sentiment onto my white card front. I die cut out hexagons using my Tim Holtz stacked hexagon sets. I then die cut a size smaller set of tiles in white card and put them to one side. I blended distress inks through the Fairy tale forest stencil to the card front.

I stamped the cupcakes from Happy everything and sentiment from Party time  onto the cut out tiles adding colour and ink to the edges.

I matted my card front onto black card.

I replaced the tiles, gluing them in place and added some gel glitter pen colour for extra sparkle to the cupcakes.

Finally I adhered my card front onto a white card blank. Here it is finished;

Shower of butterflies stencil

and the lovely a cup of roses stamp set. 

This is what I got up to;

I placed the Shower of butterflies stencil at the side of my card and kept it in place using the magnets from my Wendy Vecchi Stay-tion

Using shaded lilac and picked raspberry distress inks lightly blended the inks around the stencil. 

I added a little ink to the sides of the card too.

I stamped, coloured and cut out the  a cup of roses . I also stamped one of the sentiments at the top of the card.

I then stuck the focal in place and matted up my card. I added some sequins for a finishing touch.

Party time

and the stars from Christmas baubles

The smallest crazy running stitched die 

and the O my stars stencil

This is what I got up to;

I made a galaxy background using distress oxide sprays on black card.

Using the stars from  Christmas baubles I gold heat embossed them across the background.

I have shared my hand made candles in my blog several times over the years. I make these in batches as they sell well in Dotty's. They are made from paper straws. I used 1 from my blue stash.

I die cut a rectangle from inky mop up card using the  smallest crazy running stitched die and adding star stenciling using the O my stars stencil and gold shimmer paste. I then edged the rectangle with black soot distress ink. 

I made a plaque using one the sentiments from Party time, again gold heat embossed and glued it underneath.

I then matted up my card. 

Here is my finished make

with a couple of close ups

and one final shot
