STAMPIN' UP! EXTRAORDINARY FLORA BEST WISHES CARD

I have made one more card with the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape die-cut flowers, paired with Irresistible Designs DSP.

The striped background is a piece of Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper, sponged around the edges with Petunia Pop ink and matted on a Petunia Pop card panel.

Using Party Banners Dies, I cut a banner from a piece of leafy Irresistible Designs DSP.  I subtly added colour using a Blending Brush and my Granny Apple Green inkpad.

Once I had glued the banner to the background paper, I added Petunia Pop Bordered Ribbon to the top.  I arranged the foliage and flowers above the sentiment, and added a couple of Fresh Freesia Starburst Sequins.

The sentiment is from With You in Mind.  I stamped it in Versamark ink on Petunia Pop card, then white heat-embossed it.  It, along with a larger Basic White circle, was cut out using Stylish Shapes Dies.

To the bottom part of the banner, I added beautiful Shades of Green Hexagons.  The embellishments in Soft Sea Foam were a nice complement to the light application of ink on the paper.

STAMPIN' UP! RUSTIC CENTERPIECE SUCCULENT BIRTHDAY CARD

Today's card features the third image in the Rustic Centerpiece stamp set.  I have previously shared cards made using the sunflower and reindeer images.  I love greens, and earthy tones, and am quite happy with how this card turned out.  My photography leaves a bit to be desired, though; this card looks much nicer in real life!

I stamped the succulents in StazOn Jet Black ink, on Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper.  To colour the image, I watercoloured using ink from Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie, Soft Sea Foam, Old Olive and Mossy Meadow inkpads.  Below the focal image, I adhered a thin strip of Mossy Meadow Designer Series Paper, and cut the entire piece out with an Everyday Arches Die.  Using the next size up Everyday Arches Die, I cut out a mat from Mossy Meadow card.

The leafy background of my card is a piece of Old Olive Designer Series Paper, sponged around the edges with Old Olive ink, then matted on a Soft Suede card panel.

The sentiment, from Simply Said, was stamped in Versamark ink on Crumb Cake card, and white heat-embossed.  I used a Textured Notes Die to cut it out, then sponged the edges with Crumb Cake ink.

The sweet embellishments added to my card are a bow made from White 1/2" Woven Ribbon, along with Tiny Bee Trinkets.
