Beautiful Friendship

Creating a welcome to the team card is not easy. Where do you start? I have so many choices of stamps. I started with one that hasn't been used, just to use it. 

Now for layout. Enter Pinterest. It's so easy! Do a search "Stampin Up (set name)" and viola! Inspiration hits ya. 

Using Basic Black (for the base to frame the art) and Whisper White Shimmer cardstock (for a subtle twinkle). 

I used Melon Mambo (for the large floral), Rich Razzleberry (for the hydrangea), Flirty Flamingo (small rose), Crushed Curry (dual flowers), Shaded Spruce (leaves). 

I "stamped off" some of the leaves to vary the intensity of the Shaded Spruce. And honestly, this card was so easy. 

The stamps are created in a "distinktive" way. This particular set has 3 layers in one image. That means when you ink it up the intensity has different levels, giving dimension to the image, without stamping multiple times. Easiest way to see it is in the hydrangea. Look at the variations of purple. 

So after all that. Have a look at the card, inside and out. 

I did a quick video showing the card. Here's the link, there is no audio.
