Cherish Friendship - Hand Stamped Sentiments #156

This card is for the sketch challenge with Hand Stamped Sentiments here





I stamped the image onto watercolour paper using Black Stazon, and coloured it using various coloured ink pads and a blender pen.
The Ovals Framelits were used to die cut the image, but before removing the Framelit the image was sponged with a stipple brush using Soft suede ink.  Then the outer edges of the oval were pricked with an oval template and a paper piercer.  It was matted with a Soft Suede oval.

The base of the card is Soft Suede, layered with Crumb Cake and then Comfort Cafe DSP.  A banner of contrasting Comfort Cafe DSP was placed behind the oval, which was attached using dimensionals.

All edges were sponged with Soft Suede ink.

The sentiment is from "Just Believe" and was punched out using a small oval punch.  This was layered with a Summer Starfruit Word Window punchie, and a Soft Suede 1 3/4 by 7/8" oval punchie.

Small pearls were placed in the centers of the flowers, and on either side of the sentiment.
