Hello My Friend, by Maria VanDerform

Hello My Friend

The card base is Melon Mambo, layered with Whisper White, and then Perfectly Artistic DSP which I stamped all over with a small flower from "Hello" and Melon Mambo ink. 

Using the circles framelit, a large circle was die cut using the "Color Me Irrestibably" DSP with the pattern of the rain drops in it.  A sponge was used to apply a bit of Pink Pirouette, and a bit of Melon Mambo in a random pattern on this circle.

On a small Whisper White rectangle, the word "Hello" was stamped using Black Memento ink.  A flower was stamped using Melon Mambo ink just above the word on the right. Melon Mambe was used to sponge the edges.  This was adhered to the circle using dimensionals.  Then below the circle the rest of the sentiment "My Friend" was stamped .

On a separate piece of Whisper White cardstock, two flowers and two leaf stems were stamped - the flowers using 3 step stamping.  The colors, in order of usage, Pink Pirouette, Blushing Bride, and Melon Mambo.  The middle of each flower was stamped with Melon Mambo.  Old Olive was used to stamp the leaf stems.  The flowers and leaves were cut out by hand.

One flower was adhered directly to the card front at the edge of the circle at the lower right.  A green leaf was attached to the flower before it was glued down.  The second flower was added using dimensionals, and the accompanying leaf attached to the card front.

Wink of Stella (clear) was applied to the flower centers.
