Good Morning everyone
Today a new challenge starts over at We love stamping with the theme of fantastic florals or there is the anything goes option. This month they also celebrate their 15th birthday so lots of amazing prizes on offer .
4x4" card. I actually had these pearl cream nested die cuts on my desk left over from a previous project and thought they were the ideal for this little floral stamp from aall&create. I first took 2 of the die cuts, added a hinge to one which i attached to the back of another to make my card base. I then took another die cut, used a smaller die from the nested set to cut a frame which i attached to the card front with foam tape - from the centre piece I stamped the text from the stamp set with grey ink & then embossed it with a leafy embossing folder and lightly inked with evergreen distress ink and then added to the card front.
I stamped the flowers with my new fav green ink(versaclair green oasis), watercoloured the heads with raspberry, violet & honey oxide inks and the stems & leaves with evergreen oxide ink, cut them out & arranged on the card front, tucking them in behind the frame. Touch of glitter glue added to the flower centres.
I stamped the sentiment onto matt ivory cardstock with grey ink, cut out and attached to finish.
Just a close up of the flowers - i cut some stems shorter and on a couple chopped of the heads and added back at a different angle to add more variation. I made one taller by cutting the stem in half and hiding behind another flower
and showing it with the main stamp set i used - how different it looks in a different colour.
Items Used:
aall&create stamps #851 'rise & shine'
Woodware Sentiment stamp #FRS749 'strokes & words'
Sizzix embossing folder
Nesting dies
Distress Oxide inks 'evergreen bough, picked raspberry, wilted violet, squeezed lemonade, wild honey'

I love the shape of your card. what a great way to use those dies. You have also used that flower stamp very imaginatively. The finished card looks amazing xx
Your card already cached my eyes when I saw it on the DT blog, Emma. It's wonderful! Love how you arranged all the flowers and leaves in that beautiful framed shape! And love also the leaf embossing to add textures and the sweet colours! Elegant and impressive!
You've really brought these stamps to life. The different colour and your arrangement really look so different to the packaging. It's such a pretty well thought out design.
A really lovely shaped creation Emma, I love those fussy cut flowers as well.
Hugs
