STAMPIN' UP!'S PEACH PARFAIT TAKES CENTRE STAGE

I discovered in my (vast) stash some sheets of Stampin' Up!'s Paisley Petals Designer Series Paper, which obviously needed to be shown some love.

I used two of the sheets to die-cut some mini rolled roses, and leaves ... and from there my card evolved.  The colour of the roses inspired me to use Peach Parfait, which is a colour I don't often turn to.  This card is all about re-discovering unloved things!

To the contrary, this card is destined for my much-loved aunty, who will be celebrating a milestone birthday next month.  It has to make its way to New Zealand, so I reckon I might need to package it carefully, given the bulk of the flowers and the bow.

Here's what I'm talking about:



Stamps: Apothecary Art, For My Family, Bordering on Romance
Card: Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Peach Parfait
DSP: Paisley Petals Designer Series Paper
Ink: Versamark inkpad, Old Olive and Peach Parfait stampin' pads
Other: Labels Collection Framelits dies, sponge daubers, Blender Pen, Basic Rhinestones, Whisper White 5/8" Organza ribbon, Orange seam binding (not SU!), flower and leaf dies (not SU!), Basic Rhinestones, mini glue dots


I really love how this card turned out, and hope my aunty does too - I miss her a lot, and wish we lived closer.
