STAMPIN' UP! LOVELY & SWEET CONGRATULATIONS CARD

 The beautiful new Nature's Sweetness Designer Series Paper features heavily on the card I'm sharing with you today.  I have used three patterned papers from this pack - the gorgeous gold leafy design (used in the background, and for the small die-cut leaves), the gold and white grid pattern, and the main floral spray that was die-cut from a sheet of DSP.

I coloured the main image using Stampin' Blends markers - Mossy Meadow for the leaves, and Soft Sea Foam for the nuts that I am calling seed pods (creative licence!).  After fussy-cutting a couple of flowers from another piece of DSP, I popped them up on Stampin' Dimensionals.  The flower centres are Festive Pearls (Soft Succulent), that I coloured using the Dark Mossy Meadow Stampin' Blends marker.

To cut out the gold and white grid-patterned panel, I used a new Perennial Postage Die.  This piece was matted on a slightly larger piece of Mossy Meadow card.

The sentiment was gold heat-embossed on a piece of Basic White card, then cut out using a Sending Die.  I added three gold Festive Pearls to this strip.
