Let's Get Connected

Hi Stampers! I wanted to let you know about Stampin Up!'s newest promotion Get Connected. Not only is the spring mini-catalog filled with many must-have items, but if you order $40 at one time you'll be rewarded with your choice from p. 208 of the Spring-Summer Catalog.
.
Today's card features the new stamp set Great Friend. This set is very well-rounded having images, sentiments, and even a tag. I see lots of potential for beautiful spring cards.
To create the subtle background I stamped the butterflies in Versa Mark and the branch in gable green on the gable green cardstock. For a whimsical touch I gave the butterfly a body and antenae with apricot appeal grosgrain ribbon.
.
Here is the list of supplies so you can make this card as well.
stamp set: Great Friend (113792, pg. 6 of the mini)
cardstock: apricot appeal, gable green, whisper white
designer series paper: rainbow sherbet
ink: tempting turquoise, gable green, versa mark
accessories: apricot appeal 1/4" grosgrain ribbon, square orange fire jeweled brad
If you don't have the Occasions mini-catalog yet, you can click here to see all the new items or email me (at tasha_hickert-consulting@yahoo.com) with your address and I will send one to you.
.
Have a stampendous Friday and thanks for stopping by!
