Friends are Flowers in the Garden of Life
Hello, crafty friends!
Today, I’m sharing a beautiful handmade card that celebrates friendship with a lovely floral sentiment. This card features the You Are Remarkable stamp set, paired with a stunning Gorgeous Grape and Lemon Lolly color combination. I love how these colors complement each other, creating a bright yet elegant look!
Adding Texture with Dry Embossing and Sanding
For this card, I tried a new-to-me technique to add dimension: dry embossing with sanding. I used the Exposed Brick embossing folder on the lighter side of Gorgeous Grape two-tone cardstock, then lightly sanded it to reveal some of the white core. This technique gives the background a distressed, artistic feel that contrasts beautifully with the softness of the sentiment panel. Check out this close-up of the texture:
Finishing Touches
To complete the card, I stamped the flower with Lemon Lolly and then the sentiment in Gorgeous Grape. The sentiment was then die-cut with the Perennial Postage dies. A delicate white butterfly and a few rhinestones add just the right amount of elegance and shine.
I’d love to see your take on this card! Share your version in the comments or in my Facebook group, where we inspire each other with Stampin’ Up! creations.
