Okay, so my blog post title is a little corny, trying to get the pertinent information about this card squeezed into a single phrase. But it is indeed another friendship card made with the Stampin' Up! Great Friend stamp set and the new Designer Series Paper, A Walk In the Park. Both of these items can be found in the current Occasions Mini Catalog. Click on the link in the right-hand column to view.
The color scheme is sophisticated, I suppose, with Basic Gray, Going Gray, and Whisper White, but softened by the Pink Pirouette and Regal Rose accents. A little bit of embossing resist on the butterfly and some Crystal Effects in the centers of the flower add some shine. There's some dimension, too, with the tiny molded flowers and the butterfly "in flight" on some foam dimensionals. The frame behind the butterfly is sponged in pink using a mask I created with the new Sizzix Bigz XL Matchbox die --- a Stampin' Up! exclusive (see it in the mini catalog). Look for a box or two created with the die next week.
How-To Make The Flowers:
-
Punch out three little flowers using the Trio Flower Punch.
-
Place the flowers on the foam mat from your Stamper's Tool Kit or the Mat Pack. Using the larger ball end of the stylus tool, press into each petal of the flower.
-
Flip the flower to the reverse side, and press down in the center with the ball of the stylus.
-
Draw a pink dot in the center with a marker, add a drop of Crystal Effects and let dry well.
-
Adhere to project with a very small dot of Mono Multipurpose Adhesive or a mini glue dot.

The members of my Stamper's Six Hostess Club as well as the guests at an in-home workshop last month all got to make this card as one of their free pojects. You, too, can be a part of our stamping fun. Contact me for details. Even long-distance customers can be a part of the club, and hosting a long-distance "virtual" workshop could also be arranged.
