Friend Card



Not like me to do cute really, but I have had some of the Lili of the Valley printed toppers for ages so I decided to start to use them.

This card simply uses the topper as a centre piece, matted onto purple linen textured card and edged wirh diamond stickles.






I embossed stars on a piece of white card using a Sizzix texture plate and cut this into a larger square which I again matted onto a larger square of the purple textured card.

Before mounting I took a piece of mauve silk ribbon and tied around the smaller mat into a bow before matting this onto the larger mat.





All of the mats were then stuck in place on a plain square white card.  The 'Friend' plate was made using a Nestability die and thin white card which I embossed and coloured with Dusty Concord Distress Ink before stamping with 'Friend' using a polymer stamp.  This plate was then edged with Stickles and stuck in place as shown.
