Life Is Better With Friends

Did you see my card in the last post?  I am so loving the FSJ stamp set, Beautiful Friendship (SS-0643)!!  Through the end of this month its part of the October Bloom Box.  After that you can get just the stamp set through my FSJ/Spellbinders link in the side bar.

This card is from one of the kits in the Bloom Box as was the last card. Isn't it just beautiful??
There are no coordinating dies with this stamp set so I fussy cut all the flowers.  Actually, they were pretty easy to cut!

I love how the Sparkle Cuts really added BLING to the flowers!

Card Stocks: Whip Cream (CS-0040) and Rustic Rose (CS-0142)
Inks: Haystack (IP-0154), Limeade Splash (IP-0019), and Cocoa Powder (IP-0016)
Coloring: Journey Gold Silk (IP-0096) and Dark Roast Silk (IP-0095)
Tools: Details Pro Shears (TO-0063)
Embellishments: Journey Sparkle Cuts (AC-0151)
Adhesives: Foam Squares Med. (AD-0085) and Journey Glaze (AD-0002)

I did learn while stamping the stems that you must be very careful not to roll the inked stamp as you apply the it to the card stock.  It's real easy to do this and you can get a "halo" that doesn't look good.  I ruined my first attempt at the stamped stems and had to start over so be forewarned.

Do you have a special person you would send this to?  I have a few that would love to get this card!
