For a Friend

By | April 10, 2011

Hi

I have a vey special friend and I have wanted to send her a card for ages just letting her know how special she is to me.   When I saw Paula Dobson’s project on U Stamp with Dawn & Friends I fell in love with it & have been wanting to trial it.  Well here it is.  I used the colour combination fromSPCC.  I first tried brayering in Pretty In Pink on the Grey but it didn’t show up so I brayered in Grey on the Pink.  I only have the ink spot of Grey – do you know how hard it is to ink your brayer with an ink spot instead of rolling on a big ink pad – not that easy.  I guess there’ll be more ink pads on my wish list!  I didn’t have any grey ribbon so I sponged some white with the grey ink.  To make the envelope on the inside I cut out two scallop envelopes – one in pink paper & the other in grey (just the top portion) and stuck them together.  The other side of the pink paper was to ‘loud’ for the card.  The rest of the voucher reads ‘to one full body massage’  I’m really pleased with the final product.

 

Supplies:
Stamp – Vintage Vogue
Cardstock – Going Grey, Pretty In Pink, Vaery Vanilla
Ink – Going Grey, Pretty In Pink
DSP – Tea Party, Urban Oasis
Other – Lattice Square Embossing Folder, Scallop Envelope Die, Corner Rounder Punch, Ribbon

    A lovely recreation Paula. Glad you liked the tutorial enough to try it. Ink Spots and Brayers don't really mix – no. Great excuse to get a full ink pad, eh?!!
