This card did not get a sentiment stamped in it yet , I like to have cards on hand that I can finish for any occasion , this card was made for my March 3-27-11 card swap
I made 16 cards
Black card stock 5.5″ by 11″ , score at 4.25 and fold
for this card I made a stencil with 3 different sized circle punches , this is my templet , I took gray paper and stamped the Friend diffination stamp in the circles with black ink , then off set the stencil and trace the circles with a white gel pen
I made 4 sheets of hamemade paper and I get 4 cards from each sheet , cut at 2.5 “x 8.5″
I used the scalloped scallop edge punch ,to punch a white strip for bottom edge if the friends gray strip
the red strip is cut 2.5″ by 5.5″
the gray paper with white scallop edge is angeled on the card and then trim the sides to get the best fit
top edge is cover with white ribbon and a bow added to top right side
I stamped a friends forever circle and punched out with a 1.75″circle punch , added faux doodle stich to edge
the black scallop circle is punched out at 2”
the heart added in the center is from SU 3 heart punch , I added red glitter glue to add BLING

stamped a dot flourish and added another red bling heart
