Hello friends! As you know Memorial Day is upon us, so I decided to bring a patriotic colored card using Forever Friends by Joy Clair Designs. I’m also sad to say that this will be my last post as design team member. I am forever grateful to Martha, the owner of Joy Clair Designs to have worked with her art. I am especially blessed to have gained a Forever Friend in Martha, as she is the sweetest and most vibrant person I know. You can bet that you will see more projects here using her fabulous stamps in the future.
It was only fitting to choose the Forever Friends digital stamp for my project today. Since we are celebrating Memorial Day here in the United States, I colored this one in patriotic colors, despite it being a birthday card. To create this card I printed the floral image from Forever Friends twice onto smooth cardstock and colored it with Copics. I then fussy cut them with a Scan n Cut to create my arrangement. Making the background was very easy, as I blended Distess Oxides in the colors Chipped Sapphire and Prize Ribbon in an ombre effect before splattering white acrylic paint over it. I also blended Prize Ribbon over the die cut sentiment.
Once the images were fussy I cut placed them along diagonal corners to create movement and interest. By placing them in a manner of hanging off the panel, I was able to trim the down and extra bits along the top of the card and hanging from the sentiment panel. For final embellishment I added silver jewelry wire and gems. I hope that you will give this card a try, and I wish you a Happy Memorial Day!
