Flowers Leave Some of Their Fragrance

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

Another really easy card to construct. For the background I stamped the Justrite Sweet Lace Background twice onto some Milk Card using Dried Marigold Distress Ink. My join wasn't brilliant on this one but not too obvious. I went around the very edge with some Denim Adirondack Dye Ink.

The sentiment is from the Creative Expressions Garden Sayings Stamp Set. I stamped it using Cobalt Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Resplendent Rectangles and inked through the die with Dried Marigold. I cut a mat out of Apricot Card using the same die set.

I stamped the Heartfelt Creations Sunkissed Fleur Stamp onto some Foundations Floral Dream Paper using Cobalt Archival and embossed with Clear Powder. I cut the flowers out using the Sunkissed Fleur Die. I selected 3 flowers and shaped them. I did a Sue Wilson thing and mixed some Sunset Orange and Snowcap Mixative with some Large Glass Micro Beads. Once they were dry, I popped some Cosmic Shimmer Dried Clear Glue in the centre of each flower and added some coloured Micro Beads.

I assembled the card as shown adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Summer Blue around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

    What a lovely card! The colours are beautiful. Having watched you demo the sunkissed fleur range I have bought some of the stamps and also the leaves and dies. I think they really add to a card and your card proves that.

  14. Good morning Julia,
    I really like the cosmic shimmer summer blue colour as it is a lovely shade and love the Sunkissed fleur die flowers. I have seen this stamp and die set for a while now and think that it just might have to be my next purchase. The flowers can come out as real or as fantasy as you like, so they are really versatile.
    Thank you
    Love and crafty hugs

  20. Good morning Julia. I like the style of the card and particularly the background stamp but, sorry, to me the blue jars and I probably would have stuck to one colour palette but hey that's my take!! Best wishes Jackie D

  26. Hi Julia,
    Two colours that I wouldn't have thought would have gone together but it just goes to show how wrong we can be. They've turned into such a beautiful card.
