You Are The Best Friend Ever Card DT Project by Jessica Francisco

Hello to everyone out there in Made It Land!

It's Jess and I'm thrilled to be back with another card tutorial for you today. This project was a lot of fun to create - I hope you'll enjoy it, too! Let's get started.

I used Brutus Monroe Raven Detail Ink to stamp out my background using various images from Power Flowers. You guys know how much I love to create my own backgrounds, so this card came together like a dream.

I used three Distress Oxide Inks (Peacock Feathers, Seedless Preserves, and Twisted Citron) for my card. To start off, I used a water brush to paint on some color for the center flower. I colored in the leaf images this way as well. I wanted at least one of my images to be cleanly colored. For the rest- mess is best!

Next, I used the plastic backing sheet from the stamp set and smooshed the Distress Oxide inks directly on to it. I sprayed this with water and then used another small piece of plastic to pick up the ink. I used the small piece of plastic to apply the ink to my background and repeated this until I was happy with the results.

For the sentiment, I cut a strip of black card stock and used my Mini MISTI to stamp out 'you are the best friend ever' from Maymay's Two Lips. I stamped with Embossing Ink from Brutus Monroe and then coated it with Alabaster Embossing Powder from Brutus Monroe. I melted it with my heat tool and adhered it to my card front.

To finish things off, I added a few coordinating sequins and popped the whole card front up on foam tape from Brutus Monroe. I love the way this card turned out. Leave a comment down below and let me know what you think!

Hugs and love,
Jess
