This week's Colour Creations blog hop is all about Fresh Freesia, one of Stampin' Up!'s 2021-2023 In Colors.
I have cut into my Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper for the first time ... there are lots of beautiful Fresh Freesia floral designs in this pack.
Using Blossoming Happiness Dies, I die-cut three flowers from a sheet of Hues of Happiness DSP. I cut the leaves using Paper Snips. These pieces were arranged, along with a Brushed Shapes heart die-cut, on my card front. I added some Fresh Freesia Opal Rounds for a bit of sparkle.
The sentiment, from the Big Hooray stamp set, was white heat-embossed on Fresh Freesia card, then cut out using a Potted Succulents Die. My finishing touch was a bow made from Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon.

Gorgeous layout, Christine! That large white heat-embossed sentiment looks amazing – I can't believe this is the first time you have used this stunning DSP, your card is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful, Spring-like card! The flowers are just gorgeous, and I love the addition of the heart.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe this is the first time you have used this DSP - I had to tell myself not to use it in case everyone thinks its the only item I own from this catalogue LOL! It is so beautiful, and I love what you have done with it - especially the addition of the brushed heart - Love That!!
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous card Christine and just perfect for a Fresh Freesia card. I love the addition of the Brushed Heart with the die cut flowers. The large white embossed sentiment works beautifully. Xxx Andrea x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Christine, I love your heart in this card it really adds that little something.
ReplyDeleteOh my how have you not cut into this gorgeous paper sooner? The Cascading Ruffles is a perfect choice for the background, just enough to soften it and the addition of the heart is beautiful. The die you have used for the sentiment is perfect. Such a lovely soft card.
ReplyDeleteOh my, first time cutting into these papers?! I bet you will be on a roll now though ;) Your card is gorgeous and I think this is the first time I've seen the Ruffles folder. It sure gives a lovely texture behind your flowers. I love how you combine so many different products together. The heart tucked in behind is a great addition.
ReplyDeleteI’m on my second pack of this paper, so your restraint shocks me no end. I admired your arrangement of roses, paired with a heart, quite lovely.
