Here's a good gift idea, a set of hand made card for your friend to send.
Today's card seems like a perfect card to make several of and gift a set of them to a friend.
This card features the Cottage Bouquet stamp set, which is my pick for Stamp Set of the Month. It's a set that I pick as a versatile set and showcase on my Facebook page each Monday night in a LIVE demonstration. AND, everyone who purchases the stamp set of the month will get an exclusive card kit in the mail, so you can make your first card with your new stamp set on me!
These flowers are colored simply with Journey Color Burst pencils, but what makes them POP is coloring a very light blue around the outside of that flower.
Every card needs an element of pizzazz, for this card I used one of my favorite techniques. I call it, Pearlizing. You need Sparkle Silk and Journey Glaze. I used it on the center of my flowers. After coloring them with a dark yellow, I covered each center with Sparkle Silk. Then I covered that with Journey Glaze. The sparkle under the Journey Glaze makes a pearlized look. You have to try it.
This set has 6 different flowers and 4 sentiments as well as a set of coordinating dies, and that's why it is my pick for the July Stamp Set of the month. You can see the cards I made last Monday night on THIS BLOG POST.
And if you'd like to see the making of today's card below is the recording on Monday nights live video.
