Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are using the retiring in colours to make a project and I have used the sweet Expressions of Friendship stamp set to make my card.
Colours used in this project are:
To recreate the Expressions of Friendship card, you will need:
Just Jade card base – 8¼” by 5⅝” scored at 4⅛”
Misty Moonlight card – 3⅞” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 3 ¾” by 3⅛”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Cinnamon Cider, Magenta Madness & Bumblebee
Using the funny, blotchy image from the Expressions of Friendship stamp set I randomly stamped all over the bottom of the Just Jade card base using Just Jade ink.

I stamped the large image onto the small piece of Basic White card in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The image was coloured in using the following Blends Markers – Cinnamon Cider, Just Jade, Magenta Madness, Misty Moonlight & Daffodil Delight.

Using a Blending Brush, I lightly added Misty Moonlight to the background of the image. The decorated panel was then glued to the Misty Moonlight layer.

The whole piece was mounted onto the Just Jade card front on Dimensionals.

Using Scissors and 3 scrap strips of cardstock in Cinnamon Cider, Magenta Madness and Bumblebee, I flagged the ends and tucked them under the image.
