Woodware: Friendship

This week the Woodware Team is all about celebrating friendship. The card I'm posting is in honor of my good friend, Dorothy Adam, who lives in Scotland, works for Woodware UK, is in  charge of our blog team, and an awesome person. So much fun and funny packed into one person. Her favorite color is purple, and this card has plenty of purple!

The base card is a deep muted purple, ink-stenciled with the Dreamweaver Small Cathedral Window stencil. Two panels have been added...one has been stamped using the Stampendous Cling Vintage Note, and a bit more of the Cathedral Window stenciled on its corner. The second panel was created using the Stampendous Creative Palette. Various drops of Dreamweaver Color Solutions Alcohol Inks were dropped on the surface of the palette, and thinned with the blending solution, which encourages the inks to swirl and combine a bit. The colors that I used for this were Iceberg, Lemoncello, Sugarplum, Mojito Green, and Cosmo Pink. I placed a panel of white cardstock over the surface to transfer the beautiful colors, and set it aside to dry. I sopped up a bit of the yellow onto the previous panel so that the rolled corner would be bright and sunny. Once dry, I stamped the Stampendous Cling Blossom Bunch in black ink over the surface of the focal panel. I Fran•tagéd it a bit by sprinkling Stampendous Shabby Blue Embossing Enamel and Amethyst Color Fragments together, and heated from underneath for unique texture.

I have these fun colored file clips from a local office supply store that I used to add the "Life is better with friends" sentiment from the Perfectly Clear Life Words set. A beautiful yellow silk bow was my final touch!
