Love is Friendship

I got a bunch of punches in the last few weeks. I will have to figure out a good storage idea for them as I have them in a large duffel bag right now and it's full and falling over! I used the large flower punch on several card I have been working on. This is one of my favorites as I also used two circle punches for the middle of the layered flower. The smallest one I also added acrylic accents to. I originally used matte, but didn't like the look, so went over it with glossy. It is hard to discern in the photo. I pop dotted the layers after inking.

I used a bunch of scraps again and layered and inked the edges in Distress Denim. I also blade distressed the blue layer under the flower with my handy dandy Heidi Swapp distresser- a great bargain at only 99 cents! The finishing touch was a rub on from the going out of business sale recently. I got a whole package for 1.50. What a bargain!

I want to make another like this using some of the shimmer paper I purchased from KI or perhaps even make some Independence Day cards using the same recipe. But first, I have to balance the checkbook!
