Friends Never Fade and a Free Stamp Set of the Month Winner!

Hi Stampers

I love the flower silhouettes in the Friends Never Fade Stamp Set. The images provide fabulous options for subtle backgorunds and bold but delicate accents for your papercraft projects.

 
Today's card features that stamp set; I paired it with the gorgeous new Paisley Petals Designer Series Paper that you can pre-order during the month April.  Click here for all the details.

 
This is the inside of the card; I added a little more detail than I usually do because it's for my sister Monica.

Rachel's Tips: I embossed the pattern paper using the Vintage Wallpaper Textured Impressions Embossing Folder to give it an additional dimension and texture.

 
 If you do not have a sentiment small enough for your needs or in this case, small enough for the Jewelry Tag Punch, use  My Digital Studio to make one! 

 
The pearls and spritzing with the Color Spritzer Tool adds the finishing touch for a simple yet elegant vintage card.

 If you like this card, please let me know by leaving a comment.  I'd love to hear from you.  And remember, I am always available and willing to answer any questions about the cards I make or the techniques I use.

AND THE WINNER FOR THE FREE STAMP SET OF THE MONTH IS?

Carrie Holder (holderfamily2005@yahoo.com).  Carrie – the prize for March 2011 is a $25.00 gift certificate.  Please send me your wish list and I'll place the order for you.  I'll pay shipping and taxes.

The Free Stamp Set of the month for April is the Sunny Fun Stamp Set from the upcoming Summer Mini.  I cannot show you a picture of it but it is so cute and adorable – you will love it!

Thanks for stopping by
