Welcome to Create with Connie and Mary’s Creatively Simple Challenge!  Each month Mary and I will pick a theme.  This month the theme is Dies!  So many awesome dies in the catalog that can almost make the card by themselves!

PAPER FLORIST

I’m using the Paper Florist Dies again…because I can!  lol!  Actually, this card was for a different project that I didn’t use, so I decided to use it for this challenge instead!

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 5-½ x 8-½ Tranquil Tide cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
• The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White was added to the front.
• A 3 x 4-1/4 piece of Zoo Crew DSP was added to the center.
• Two sets of small and large four petal flowers were cut from Tranquil Tide c/s with the Dies.  A Blending Brush was used to add Tranquil Tide Ink to the centers.  Adhere both small and large together and add to front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• Cut three open leaves from Parakeet Party c/s with Dies, add to front tucked under the flowers.
• Cut one large and small flower center with Die from Sweet Sorbet c/s, add to centers.
• Cut three small flowers from Lemon Lolly c/s with Die.  Add to background.
• Stamp Go To Greetings image with Tranquil Tide Ink on Basic White cardstock and hand-cut around the letters, add to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• Add Pastel Sequins to the center of Lemon Lolly flowers.

 

The Tranquil Tide color certainly pops against the black!  Make sure to check out Mary’s Creatively Simple card over on Create with Connie and Mary!
