MY SHOEBOX CARD - CHERISH FRIENDSHIP

I cased this card from Janine Tinklenberg.  She showed how to make gingham embossed from our new SU! striped embossing folder.  Brayer one side of the stripes, run card stock through the Big Shot.  Brayer again, and turn paper quarter turn, run through Big Shot again.

The stamp set I used is Cherish Friendship for the bowl of cherries, and Happy Greetings for the inside of the card.  The card stock colors are Pool Party (brand new in color for SU!), so saffron, and very vanilla.  The ink for the gingham is pool party.

The ribbon is cherry cobbler dotted swiss scallop grosgrain.  Love it!

My card is not nearly as pretty as Janine's.  She accented hers a little more.  But...for a shoebox, it was perfect!  Everyone loved the technique.  The bowl of cherries is colored with SU! stampinwrite markers and highlighted with the white gel pen and then crystal effects.  They look so real and juicy!

Great card Janine. Thanks for sharing this tip!
