Life is better with Friends

Hi and thanks for checking out my blog.  During these difficult times we realise that life is better with friends and although we may not be able to catch up in person you can always send a card to brighten their day!

This card is a layered greenery vine look on brick background and uses a couple of options made with the Lovely Labels Pick-A-Punch!  I used this punch is a previous card and if you missed it have a look by clicking HERE.

All available products used are shown at the end of the post and the process of putting it together is as follows;

• Start with card base, A4 Whisper White cut in half portrait at 10.5 cm and fold in half
• First layer cut to 10 x 14.4 cm - In Good Taste DSP
  
• Cut strips 1 cm wide in various lengths - Garden Green & Pear Pizzazz cardstock
  
• Stamp leaves with Shaded Spruce ink and cut with dies
• Cut solid die in Early Espresso cardstock
• Attach first layer with Stampin' Seal adhesive to card base so it opens landscape
  
• Weave strips and attach with Stampin' Seal adhesive
  
• Attach die cut leaves with dimensionals under woven strips
• Attach solid die cut with little bit of Stampin' Seal at stem under woven strip (see close up below)
  
• Stamp sentiment with Garden Green ink on 1.9 cm wide strip of Pear Pizzazz cardstock, shape using 1.9 cm punch
• Cut 2.5 cm wide strip of Early Espresso cardstock, shape using 2.5 cm punch a little longer than sentiment label
  
• Attach long plain label with dimensionals and sentiment label on top with dimensionals
• Use a couple of 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots to finish
  

Inside I stamped the sentiment from Peaceful Moments stamp set and some of the leaves from Forever Fern stamp set in Shaded Spruce ink.  I wanted the sentiment to standout so I used Shaded Spruce ink as it is a darker green and still matches other shades of green on the front.
