Friends Become Family with Memory Box

Hello and welcome!  I'm up on the Memory Box blog today with this light a pretty card for a dear friend.

Here's a close up look of my card:

To make my card I 

1)  embossed some watercolor card stock with the "Blooming Sweet Pea" 3D embossing folder  

2) use one of the smaller "Stitched Rectangle Layers" dies and cut out of the center of the embossed panel

3)  Added "Rose Gold Metallic Gilding Paste" from Cosmic Shimmer to the raised areas of the small embossed white rectangle

4)  Cut a little larger rectangle with same die set from "White Woodgrain Card Stock", then swiped it also with the same rose gold paste.  

5) Stamp the sentiment from "Friends and Family" stamp set in Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and heat emboss in clear on a piece of vellum.

6)  Add the vellum to some double sided adhesive, then trim the edges and add to the small rectangle (You can see the rose gold enhanced embossing through and behind the vellum."

7)  Add the vellum + embossed rectangle to the woodgrain rectangle and then to the main large A2 white embossed card front panel.

8)  Cut the "Glade Butterfly" die from black card stock and added to top right of card

9)  Add pink "Pastel Fairy Jewels" to the butterfly middle and in the corners of vellum

Here's another look at my card: 

I really like how you can see the light rose gold raised areas of the dry embossing peeking through the vellum heat embossed sentiment.  Even though sentiment on this card is the focal point, it's nice to see the embossed patterned on the white background continue through to behind the vellum.  

Here's one last look:

The sentiments in this stamp set "Family and Friends" are so sweet and there are a lot of them in the set.

I hope you enjoyed my card for today, I really had fun creating it.
