There is Always Time for Friendship Card

Hi!  

Today's card was made for the June Card Chain Challenge but I never got around to doing a post on it - which was shameful as I think it turned out very well. So I'm giving it its due now. 

It's another mash up of products (my favorite), and it was inspired by a tag card that Dave Brethauer made for Memory Box. I employed my favorite Perfect Pearls stunt - and, in person, the tag shimmers quite nicely. The transparency also looks better in person - hard to get a decent photograph of such things because of reflection issues.

S U P P L I E S:

Cardstock: white (Cougar 80 lb), Hyacinth, Currant, Sage (Memory Box); Stamps: Mercer Rose Background (Memory Box), Live Life and Floral (Hero Arts); Inks: Jet Black (Staz-On), Tuxedo Black (Memento), Ranger Distress Embossing, Seedless Preserves, Milled Lavender, Weathered Wood (Ranger Industries); Other mediums: chalks (Pebbles), Ultrafine SeaFoam White embossing powder, Glossy Accents and Stickles (Ranger Industries); Fibers: Straight'n'Narrow ribbon (Offray); Other: watercolor paper (Strathmore), transparency sheet; Dies: Prim Poppy and Distressed Tag (Memory Box), Floral (Hero Arts/Sizzix); Tools: Vagabond (Sizzix), Metal Adaptor (Memory Box), Ink Applicator Tool (Ranger Industries)

I N S T R U C T I O N S:

1. Make card base out of white card stock.
2. Cut Hyacinth panel adn adhere to card.
3. Die cut tag from watercolor paper, stamp background with embossing ink, heat set embossing powder, and apply remaining distress inks using ink applicator tool.
4. Spritz Perfect Pearls solution onto tag and set aside to dry.
5. Cut panel from transparency, stamp sentiment with StazOn ink, and set aside to dry.
6. Stamp butterflies with Memento ink and diecut; color with chalk, apply Diamond Stickles, and set aside to dry.
7. Die cut Prim Poppy from Currant and Sage card stock. Trim Currant flowers and bud from die cut and adhere to top of Sage die cut.
8. Once tag is dry, thread ribbon through hole and adhere to back of tag before adhering tag to card. 
9. Adhere Prim Poppy die cut, then transparency panel.
10. Once butterflies are dry, adhere to card.      

Are you worn out? LOL! I sometimes think it takes longer to create the post than it does to make the card!

Thanks for stopping and have a blessed day!
