Two Step Stamping - Dusty Durango Rose Friendship Card

I am a sucker for roses! I just love them. The way they smell. The different colors. Ooooo....I just love them! So, when SU! announced that it was retiring their "Wild Rose" set, I was so so so sad.....BUT, they must have known that I NEEDED a current rose set, and when the new catalog came out....VOILA....the "A Rose Is A Rose" set was there! Yippee! This set is just perfect! I love the Two-Step Stamping Technique and really enjoy showing it with this fabulous bunch of stamps. Thank you Stampin' Up!

I admit that yellow roses are my favorite, but to this day, I have yet to stamp a card with yellow roses.....that will need to change pronto! At any rate, when I saw the new In Colors, I HAD to try the Dusty Durango Ink with Pumpkin Pie. It is such a fabulous combonation. What do you think????



1. Fold your Old Olive CS in half and crease with the Bone Folder.
2. SNAIL Dusty Durango CS onto the gift card.
3. Stamp the following using 5 different stamps and the demo as a guide for placement:
· “Lg. Bold Rose” – Pumpkin Pie Ink
· “Lg. Rose Highlights” – Dusty Durango Ink
· “Bold Leaf” – Old Olive Ink
· “Leaf Highlights” – Garden Green Ink
· “Leaf with stem” -- Old Olive Ink
4. Stamp “frame” in Basic Black Ink onto Old Olive CS.
5. Using Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to help guide the placement stamp “You’re a friend…” inside the frame. Cut out using Paper Snips and use two Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere over “Leaf with stem.”
6. Use 2-Way Glue Pen to lightly trace “friend.” Lay card in Powder Pal and sprinkle with the Fine Cosmo Glitter – Celery.
