True Friend card created for Chocolate Baroque Colour Challenge 30

Good morning. Here is my contribution to Colour Challenge 30.

I directly stamped an 8 X 8 inch card using Distress Inks using stamps from Floral Notes and A Little Bird Told Me stamp sets. I lightly coloured the flowers with a wash of watercolour pen.

The printed paper is from Crafty Individuals (Book 7 – Shades of Summer). I stamped and heat embossed the birds in gold and the sentiment in bright pink (Mackintosh Sentiments). The birds were coloured with watercolour and glitter pens. I outlined them with pale grey alcohol marker to make them stand out a little more from the background. I also coated them with Glossy Accents.

I mounted the decorative panel on green card and attached to the card front with 3D foam for dimension; added a bow and faux gems to finish.

• Floral Notes, A Little Bird Told Me and Mackintosh Sentiments stamp sets
