Simple yet Stunning Sunday #5

My Favorite Stamp set

Beautiful Friendship

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to my Simple yet Stunning Sunday post. It is such a beautiful day in the Pacific Northwest! Happy Mother's Day to you. I'm glad you decided to stop in and say hello. I have been blessed with two beautiful daughters and cherish all the time I have spent with them over the years. They have grown to become wonderful young ladies. 

Today I am sharing a Simple yet Stunning card using my favorite stamp set, Beautiful Friendship. This set is beyond great! The stamps have been designed to give you all the fantastic shading and layers, by you only have to stamp an image once to get those beautiful features. You can create beautiful and stunning cards by simply choosing well coordinating colors. In this case, I used Blackberry Bliss, a very rich color. This pairs so well with the soft Petal Pink and creates a striking combination. Adding the Petal Pink ribbons helps to create a bit more stunning.

Another way to bring sparkle to your projects in a quick and easy way is the use Wink of Stella. I applied it to the darker parts of the flowers and a bit on the background to add sparkle without adding too much texture. I like to use Wink of Stella when I plan to mail my card off. When I use rhinestones or bows and things, I have to be sure to use padded envelopes to mail the card safely. I do this often, but I wanted to share a way to create that sparkle, but not worry about how to mail it without it getting damaged through the machines. 

I stamped this flower on the inside of the card. This image really shows the shading and dimension that it gives so easily. I just can't get enough of this stamp set. You can check out so many other awesome projects using the Beautiful Friendship Stamp set on Pinterest. Here are the details for my project today.
