And, if you shop from the new release, this exclusive, not yet released, adorable stamp set will be added to your cart! This will be available until March 1 @ 11:59 p.m. EST or while supplies last.
Today, I am sharing a card I created for a special friend and co-worker. She is beautiful inside and out! I love this gorgeous Periwinkle ink color! It is so pretty.

I used the following products to create this card:
~NEW~ Beautiful Friend die set
~NEW~ Groovy Daisies stamp set
~You Matter Background stamp
~A2 Rectangles
~Periwinkle and Flannel Pawsitively Saturated ink
~Dusky Pawsitively Saturated Gems
Here are the steps I used to create this card:
- Cut a white card stock panel to 4 x 5 1/4″
- Stamp the Groovy Daisies Stamp using Periwinkle ink.
- Over top of the daisies, stamp the You Matter Background Stamp using Flannel ink.
- Ink blend with Periwinkle a 4 X 4″ piece of card stock.
- Die cut the words from the Beautiful Friend die, out of the ink blended piece.
- Die cut the shadow from the Beautiful Friend die set from white card stock.
- Adhere the Beautiful Friend words to the shadow piece using liquid adhesive.
- Center and adhere the Daisy panel to a top folding, A2 card base.
- Adhere the sentiment, adding foam tape to the back for dimension.
- Lastly, add some gems to some of the the daisy centers.

I am smitten with this newly released Beautiful Friends die set. I love the pretty font and the size makes it a perfect focal point for any card project. And the Groovy Daisies made a gorgeous background.

Periwinkle is one of my favorite colors! What an excellent choice. If you had used a yellow center they would look like one of my favorite flowers, Cape Town Daisies.
