STAMPIN' UP! EXTRAORDINARY FLORA CONGRATULATIONS CARD

 I have had my first session of creating with Strawberry Slush, since it was reintroduced to Stampin' Up!'s colour range - and I love it!  I've made a couple of floral cards; I will share the second one tomorrow.

The starting point for my card today was a whole lot of pieces I had cut using the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape and co-ordinating die.  I first adhered a length of the washi tape to some Basic White card, then ran it through my Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine with the die.  

Strawberry Slush is such a beautiful pink, and it pairs nicely with Granny Apple Green.

I used the Around it All Bundle to create the sentiment.  After stamping it in Strawberry Slush ink, on Basic White card, I cut it out using one of the irregular circle dies.  There was a small white border around the word, but I decided to arrange the flowers and leaves in a wreath tightly placed around the sentiment.

The background paper is Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper, and the two Granny Apple Green strips are from the Brights 6"x6" Designer Series Paper pack.

I finished off my card design with Strawberry Slush Gems.  They are gorgeous!
