Fifth Avenue Floral

March 7, 2009 By Connie | 3 Comments

Another set from this catalog that I LOVE! I’m hooked on using Kraft, Black and White with this set. I think it makes for a very elegant card!

This card was my Control Freaks swap for the New Catalog Swap. I started with a base of Basic Black. Whenever I use a black base, I always include a 1/4 of Whisper White on the inside so I can stamp a greeting. Then I stamped one flower randomly in Basic Black ink. I used my embossing buddy and then Versamark with the large flower, adding White Embossing Powder and heat setting it. I used Itty Bitty Backgrounds to add some black speckles in the blank areas. The designer paper is from Urban Oasis and I was careful to just cut two lines of the spirals. I added a tag cut from Lots of Tags Sizzix Die (LOVE it!) and used the greeting from Really Retro with two black mini brads to secure it to the cardfront. I wrapped the Stripe Organza ribbon around the Kraft piece and layered it onto the Black Base. I was so pleased with this card that I used it at my last workshop! This group was very enterprising, though…I saw lots of awesome variations!

Hope you are having a great weekend!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 23 years and just had my 22nd Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Lewis Center, Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Westerville, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!
