Today I'm sharing a card showcasing the new True Friends Stamp Set. This stamp set has banner images that perfectly fit the Bold Banner Die and lots of great greetings!
I used the solid banner images to "color" my die cut banner using the Mama Elephant Ocean Ink. Then I stamped the greetings using Simon Says Stamp Black Ink.
I paired the cute greeting banner with the adorable monkey and balloons Up & Away stamped images. I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them in with Copics. Then I used the coordinating Up & Away Dies to cut out the balloons and monkey.
I used the Landscape Trio Dies and Femme Frames Dies to create the subtle white on white background. I cut the stitched rectangle from Femme Frames using Neenah Solar White Cardstock and layered a couple of cloud borders cut from the same white cardstock on top.
I layered the vellum scallop frame from Femme Frames over the top of the solid rectangle and layered another white cloud die cut border on top of that. I stamped the balloon again using black in on the vellum and lined up the die cut and colored image over the top, adhering with foam adhesive.
Die cut and stamped stars from Confetti finish off the card. I used a little Wink of Stella Glitter Marker on the stars and balloons for some sparkle!
