STAMPIN' UP! BEAUTY ABOUNDS FRIENDSHIP CARD IN BLUSHING BRIDE & CRUMB CAKE

Today's card features the Beauty Abounds stamp set, and co-ordinating Butterfly Beauty dies.  As on yesterday's card, I have also used the Swirly Frames stamp set.  I'm doing double duty with these sets - they've both been neglected!

I first stamped, in Crumb Cake ink, the large rectangular frame on a piece of Whisper White card.  Inside the frame I white-embossed the flourishy flower and leaf image from Beauty Abounds.  I used Blushing Bride, Crumb Cake and Pear Pizzazz Stampin' Write Markers to colour the delicate flowers, leaves, and scrolls.

The sentiment is stamped in Soft Suede ink ... and despite using my Stamparatus for placement, I still managed to stamp it not quite straight!  To my mind, that just adds to the beauty of a handmade card.  Perfectly imperfect. :)

Can you see that I have stamped butterflies on the Blushing Bride piece of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper?  I inked the stamp, stamped it off on scrap paper, and then stamped onto the patterned paper, to give a subtle effect.

I have listed below all the products used to make this card.  They are available to purchase from my online store, which can be accessed by clicking on any of the thumbnail images below.  If you live in Australia, I would love for you to shop with me for your Stampin' Up! supplies.
