Life is Better With Friends

This is the 4th and last card I made from FSJ's October Bloom Box. I have to admit that I liked each card design very much and really didn't change anything about any card except I didn't add more color to the background on this card and the reason.... I didn't read the directions! Ok. I'm more of a visual person.  Also, I'm only going to give the SKU #s as FSJ is now working to add product to Spellbinders website under coming soon and I don't want to be changing links, etc.  Until the end of day of Oct. 31 you can still purchase FSJ products by clicking on the FSJ shopping cart at the top of the side bar. At this time you can also order the Nov. Bloom Box which has a really cute stamp set called "Cup of Tea" which also has a coordinating die set available.

Isn't this pretty!!  I can see this card being used to uplift a friend, maybe as a get well along with birthday!  I used FSJ's Colorless Blender and a Sofft Tool to remove any static to the Bubble Gum background and Vellum to be sure my embossing powders didn't adhere where they weren't supposed to.

I did some heat embossing which I don't do often enough! And a bit of Journey Glaze to the tops of the Cone flowers really sets them off!
