My Friend Embossed card - CASEd

A while ago I saw a card similar to this one on someone's blog (sorry I searched but can't remember whose it was, if it belongs to you please email me so I can give you proper credit).  I changed it a bit by changing the punch used and adding Champagne Mist Shimmer Spritz to the front ....

You can't really see the bling of the spritz, but it IS there!
Stamps:  My Friend
Ink:  Versa Mark

I love all the new embossing powders that Stampin' Up! has come out with now.  And they match our cardstock, inks and markers too!  Life can't get  much better. ....
Happy Stampin' ... ... ...

My Friend Brayered card

Today I felt the need to brayer.  I got out some of the brand new Stampin' Up! 2011-13 In Colours and brayered away......

I brayered with Lucky Limeade, Pool Party and Wisteria Wonder.  Then stamped My Friend in Perfect Plum.  So cool.

A nice summery card for you today.  It is FINALLY summer here on the west coast of Vancouver Island.  Today is the very first hot day we have gotten, and I love it!
Stampin' and sharin' will be spotty over the next 2 months as we will be doing more travelling and next week I am going to my very first Stampin' Up! Annual Convention in Salt Lake City  (squeal!!!!).  I hope you all have a super summer and Happy Stampin'....
