Big Flower Lift

Happy 4th to all my American friends! I know I'm a day late, but I was busy yesterday at a cookout to celebrate. The fireworks were fantastic, the food was great and it was a good time. I hope you all enjoyed your holiday weekend.

Does this card look familiar? I lifted Shari Carroll's design. She made something very similar in the bookmaking technique video she did last week. I used the same colors. I used the Friendship stamp for the background instead of the houses stamp she used. Also, I stamped the flower directly on blue Bazzill Dotted Swiss paper (hard to see the dots in this pic) instead of inking the flower. I did color in the center outline with a Copic marker and added Glossy Accents. I'm going to send this to a good friend of mine for her birthday next week. Hopefully she'll like it. I love the new Basic Grey Basics Manila paper. It matches so well with the Hero Arts notecards.


Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a great week! The good news is since today was a holiday, I only have to work 4 days this week.  Gotta love that! :-)

supplies: Hero Arts stamps and notecard, Basic Grey paper and ribbon, Ranger Glossy Accents.
