This Friendship Card features the Love What You Do stamp set by Stampin' Up! and Brusho Crystal Colours. I sprinkled the Brusho Crystals into the coordinating Lovely Floral Embossing folder, spritzed the watercolor paper and folder with water and then embossed it. Hard to tell from the picture but in person the embossing shows up much better. The bottom of the card is stamped with Old Olive and Real Red inks.  This is an A2 size card.
