Beautiful Friendship wish list bookmark

I made today’s project after being inspired by a Facebook video I watched last night by LeeAnn Greff.  Then while looking at our quarterly publication Stampin’ Success, I saw we had some printouts for making wishlists.  I was immediately inspired to combine the two projects together.  Here is what I came up.

The bookmark features a new photopolymer stamp set from the 2019-2020 annual catalog released on June 4, called Beautiful Friendship (149252).  It’s one of our distinktive stamp sets which makes it look almost real.  These are my favorite new types of stamps.  They are always so detailed and vibrant.  Here the hydrangea is stamped in highland heather, leaves in granny apple green and the roses in gorgeous grape with centers in early espresso.  I added some Wink of Stella to the roses for a little shimmer.  I then punched a small hole and tied some of our beautiful new purple tricolor ribbon (149708) to the top to finish it off.

This Little Piggy retiform technique card

I had seen several cards using the retiform technique.  This card is my first try utilizing this technique.  It features This Little Piggy (143922) stamp set.  I sectioned off each triangle using post-it notes and sponged crumb cake ink along the edge of the post-it.  After making my four sections, I stamped my pigs in Momento tuxedo black ink and colored them with my Stampin' Blends alcohol markers.  The cute little lips and sentiment are also in the same stamp set. 

I used Smokey Slate light and dark (145058), Pink Pirouette light and dark (144604), Crumb Cake dark (144581) and the Bronze (144607) Stampin' blends markers to color my pigs.  I then added some clear Wink of Stella glitter brush (141897) on the wings of the flying pig for some sparkle on this card.  Stampin' Blends can be purchased individually, in combo packs of light and dark or in a markers collection (147475).  If you purchase the collection before March 31, 2018, you will earn up to two free Sale-A-Bration products.  Just click on the shopping cart to be taken to my online store where you can get further details.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you have been inspired to try this technique.  Please leave me a comment if you have questions or comments.  I would love to hear from you.
