Friends...

...are precious, and I love making cards to my friends and tell them how much they mean to me! Cornish Heritage Farms have some fantastic stamps which I use a lot on cards for friends. On this card I used two sets of sentiments and one background stamp.

This beautiful sentiment is from the Mona Lisa Moments - Friend Centers stamp set. I stamped it first on some watercolour paper. I then masked it and stamped with the Leaves #3 Background stamp. I sprayed with Shimmerz Spritz Olive Branch and Bamboo Leaf before I distressed the edges of the paper, used a Martha Stewart punch on the top border and sewed the edges on my sewing machine.

The flowers and leaves are sprayed with Olive Branch and Mudpie Spritz. I used some Crackle Paint underneath the flowers.

The small sentiment is from the Script Essential Expression stamp set. This is a very versatile set with sentiments for all occations! A must-have for a cardmaker;)

Inside the card i used one more sentiment from the Mona Lisa Moments - Friend Centers stamp set. And in the corners I stamped with the the Leaves #3 Background stamp. All edges of the papers are distressed and sewed. I sprayed the corners with Shimmerz Spritz Mudpie.
