Petite Petals on Strawberry Slush

These are a complete case from Stamp Your Art Out-Rachel.  How pretty and what fun!  Have a friend hospitalized - sounds like a good place to send one.  This uses Strawberry Slush & Whisper White cardstock.  Strawberry card base is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2.  Second strawberry layer is  3 11/16 x 3 3/8.  White layers are 5 5/16 x 4 1/16 and 4 1/2 x 3 3/16.  I stamped Gorgeous Grunge with Silver Encore and embossed with Silver Detail EP.  I stamped Flower Shop in Strawberry and stamped Petite Petals in Cantaloupe, Blushing Bride and Wisteria Wonder.  All flowers were punched out using SU punches.  On one card I raised the inside layer with dimensionals - on the other card I used the dimensionals to raise each flower.  Can't decide which I like best so  both must be ok.  I used Rhinestones in the centers of each flower and placed four silver sequins on the cards.  I think they turned out quite nicely and am going to try them in several different color combinations.

Flowering Flourishes - for Stamp Club

It's my turn to demo/teach at the August club, so I am starting to thing about what three cards I will do.  I am loving the new Petite Petals stamps and punch and the new WaterColor Wonder papers, so will combine them. 

 

I created four very similar but slightly different cards.  I used the Watercolor Notes for my card base.    Using Gumball Green Ink, I stamped different stamps from the Flowering Flourishes set.  I punched the flowers out from the Watercolor Wonder DSP.  Using an embossing tool and a sponge mat, I 'cupped' the flowers slightly to give them some dimension.  I used a variation of Candy Dots, Rhinestones, and Pearls for the flower centers - don't think I could choose a favorite.  The flowers were attached using Glue Dots but they could just as well have been affixed with dimensionals.    I will add a sentiment to the lower right corner, using Tangerine Tango ink.  A quick, easy, elegant card.
