'Friendship.'

Good evening Followers, Friends and Visitors,

Hope this post finds you well,  despite the dreary weather we are having at the moment lol!   It is not looking very promising for the next few days.   I keep telling myself that summer is just around the corner lol!     let's hope I'm right.   There are lots of flowers on the strawberry plants, the onions and potatoes continue to grow well.   In the greenhouse we have peas, carrots, parsnips, chilly  peppers, sweetcorn,  tomatoes, green beans, kohlrabi,  plus many more plants, all  just waiting to be put out in our veggie plot.    Enough about gardening, now to tonight's card.    I made this for a friend to give to her friend.    This card  is a very similar design to a  card I had on my blog on 13th. April 2019, which I called 'Friends are like stars.'   The difference is, I used totally different colours for this one and added some stamped images using gold Starlight paint on the background.   I also used a punch to make a pretty edge down one side.

 
Make a square base card from white linen effect card.   Matt and layer a piece of dark green card onto the base card, leaving a small border of the white showing.   Add a drop or two of the three inks onto a work surface and add a couple of sprays of water.

Take a smaller piece of plain white card and lay it face down onto the Fuchsia, green and yellow spray inks and drag the card across the inks then lift up.   Repeat this until you are happy with the results.   (One little tip, if you do this too often, the colours will mix too much,  giving a dull muddy colour.)     Leave this to air dry.   (You can use a heat gun but I prefer to air dry it).

Using a black inkpad, stamp the sentiment in the centre of the now coloured card.

   
Put a small amount of the  Rich Gold Starlight Paint onto your work surface and pick some of it up on a piece of cut 'n' dry foam, then dab onto the 'crackle' stamp from the Art stamps distress set, then stamp this four times around the sentiment.

 
Using a spare piece of white linen card, lay the stars stencil onto it, then dab the Rich Gold,  Emerald  and Dried Rose Starlight paints through the different sized stars on the stencil, using s stencil brush.

 
When dry, cut out each star and glue them to the card front using silicone glue to give some dimension to the card..

Using the Martha Stewart punch, punch down the right-hand edge and matt this onto the white base card.

 
Glue an emerald green satin ribbon bow to the bottom right corner and the card is finished.    Hope you like it.
