My Friend

My Friend

This card is a somewhat monochromatic but with the various mediums and tools used, it doesn't look monochromatic.  It's made using the new Daffodil Delight color in the Brights Collection by Stampin' UP! 
 
The new 3mm Basic Pearl mounted onto a the flower punched with the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack took this card to the next level of elegance. The Basic Pearl jewels are self adhesive half pearls that come in 2mm, 3mm and 5mm sizes. Look to see them often as I absolutely love them!
Daffodil Delight reminds me of sunshine but doesn't have the heat  we are experiencing this weekend here in St. Louis.  Our temperature today reached 97 degrees with a humidity that made it feel like 107 degrees. On a day like today, it's best just to stay indoors and make a card!

Friends Never Fade

I am just loving the new colors this year that premiered in Stampin’ UP’s 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalog (IBC).  And the new Designer Series Papers are to die for.  My wish list is soooooo long.
I made two of these cards to send to two friends. I won’t mention their names so not to spoil their surprise.  This card was very easy to make.  The designer series paper negates the need for complicated techniques.  I'm all about clean & simple.
