FRIENDS ARE THE BEST - Cynthia Stevenson, Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Hi there. I have some great friends and am so thankful to have them in my life. So, I made a card!

This was created with the Thankful Garden Bundle(165534) with help from the Lovely Garden 12″x12″ designer series paper(165524) and a few Starburst Sequins(165539). These items that I used are part of the Lovely Garden Suite Collection(165541) that includes 1/8″ Fresh Freesia Faux Velvet Ribbon.

I do have fun blending colours and the Masks with this bundle make it very easy too. I started with Balmy Blue ink for the base and added a light layer of Azure Afternoon ink and finished with a darker layer of Azure Afternoon. This involved adding a bit more pressure to the Blending Brush to get the colour depth that you want.

Freshly Made Sketches presented a new sketch this week, so I followed along with it as I put this card together.

Here’s the list of products used.
