Simply Elegant "Friend" Greeting Card, Mixed Media

 What is it? An artistic greeting card

Handmade mixed media greeting card that also serves as an artsy display. This is a single 4x4"" card and will come with its own envelope.

Specifics:

This is the little sister to my "Simply Elegant Love" card. Similar in designs, this card is simple and elegant, as well. The background was created with layering stamps (Altenew), and shades of teal colored ink. Has a black base made from 110 lb. smooth card stock, then a square shiny black card stock mat with tattered edges, and third is the handmade teal design square, also with tattered edges. Contains leaf die cuts made from shiny black card stock and matte black card stock. The main word, "Friend" is also cut from this shiny black card stock and layered on top of 3-4 layers of white card stock. The leaves are elevated on black dimensional foam tape and the larger layers have a few sheets of card stock beneath them, giving this card a good amount of dimension. The final touches include beautiful handmade foam flowers and flat-back pearls in various shades of teal. Although there is light stamping on the interior, there is no internal sentiment, but there is space for writing your own message to the recipient.

Due to the nature of the layers, the thickness of the center, and the pearls, if you choose to mail this out to someone, I highly recommend putting it in a bubble mailer, otherwise the pearls could get broken in the post office rollers, and the card may get smashed.

All items were adhered using a matte medium gel and Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue to assure that nothing comes apart. 

Artist Disclaimer:
One of a kind art. There is only one available. 

My prices may seem inconsistent, but every item is priced according to the amount of time I spend creating them as well as the supplies used. I handcraft nearly every piece that goes into my art. The resin pieces are the simplest things I create because the amazing moulds do most of the work for me. But other items found on each of my pieces is completely designed and meticulously put together by me. While there are a lot of fantastically beautiful options out there, I don't buy many pre-made embellishments because I want my art to be unique and entirely MY design. So if the prices seem higher on some pieces and lower on others, it has everything to do with the time spent creating each individual embellishment used on those pieces. I solemnly pour my heart and soul into everything I make. And I truly hope that shows in my attention to every single detail and quality of my products.
