I gotta admit I'm not all that happy w/ this card. I was trying out this week's SCS Color Challenge and the colors just weren't workin for me this time around!!
I pulled out my brand spanking new Bodacious Bouquet set w/ matching Classy Brass template and went to work (had to use the template for this week's Ways To Use It Challenge) - this set has been sitting here for a few *weeks* now just begging to be inked up!
The flower I stamped using markers and a blender pen for the Vintage Violet. Once it was stamped I covered it w/ VersaMark and embossed it w/ Iridescent Ice EP and cut it out.
I stamped the center flower w/ Sahara Sand and did the same thing then connected them w/ a black brad.
The circles were made w/ my Coluzzle and I adhered the flower to them w/ a dimensional.
I then stamped the flourish on the card base and used the Classy Brass Template to pierce holes around each one.
Once I got the strips of CS and ribbon on the card I inked up just the 'Friendship' part of the stamp (from SU's Take Three set) and stamped it directly under the strips of CS - I totally eyeballed it and AM proud to say I got it straight the first time LOL! (a good thing b/c I wasn't about to re-do the whole card base a second time!!).
