Hibiscus Friendship Card |
|
I
made 6 cards using the Tropical Oasis Suite Bundle and think this one is my favorite.
From the bundle I used the hibiscus stamp, leaves, Coastal Weave 3D Embossing folder, dies for the hibiscu sand leaves, and one of the sentiments.
I used a die from Painted Labels (part of the Peaceful Poppies Suite Bundle) to emblish the sentiment, and tre tops from the Majestic Mountain Dies. Surprisingly, the tops of these trees look very fern-like.

Card base is whisper white, standard size, 4.25” X 11”, scored and folded at 5.5”.
Cut another piece of whisper white card stock at 4 1/8” X 5 3/8”, emboss with the 3D Coastal Weave embossing folder.
Stamp two hibiscus blooms with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink; sgtamp leaves with this ink, also. Memento is the ink we use when coloring with Stampin’ Blend Markers.
On a scrap of whisper white cardstock I stamped “Our friendship is timeless.” Then using the Triple Banner Punch, I punched both ends.
Color flowers and stamps with Stampin’ Blends. I used Mango Melody and Old Olive.
Arrange the card front before adhering to card. On the embossed whishper white arrange the flowers, leaves, ‘ferns” and sentiment with accent stips cut out of Maqngo Melody Cardstock. Using glue, glue dots and dimensionals put your card front togheter and adhere to card base.
I made an inside piece, whisper white cut the same as the embossed layer, stamped a sentiment from the Stamp Set Strong and Beautiful and put a strip of DSP on the bottom. I also stamped the envelope with hibiscus blooms using Mango Melody ink.
