In each catalogue you will find some products which you can earn as a host or by placing an individual order of $250 (in Australia). These are great value. The Expressions Of Friendship stamp set (#158460) is one of these from the Mini Catalogue.
I stamped this beautiful image with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#159228). The tree trunk was coloured with Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends (#153882) and the leaves with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends (#154885). For the grass I used Old Olive Stampin’ Blends (#154892) and the swing seat was 600 (#159462)- one of the new Natural Tones Stampin’ Blends. There are 10 different skin tones available numbered 100-1000.
The dress was coloured with Polished Pink SB (#155520) and the hair with 400 of Natural tones SB (#159461) and Ivory SB (#154922). I lightly coloured the background with Pool Party ink (#147107) using a Blending Brush (#153611) and the tree with Granny Apple Green ink (#147095).
I used a Stitched With Whimsy die (#155314) to create the “stitching” on the card. “Happy Birthday” is also from the same stamp set and stamped with Polished Pink ink (#155712). I used a Hippo & Friends die (#153585) to cut the sentiment and attached it with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The card front was matted with Polished Pink card (#155711), then attached to the Basic White base card. The Pebble Enamel Shapes (#158141) were placed on the card.
