IM106 – Forever Blossoms

January 13, 2020 By Connie | Leave a Comment

 

Happy Monday! It’s time for our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenge! This week’s inspiration is some pretty paper flowers!

I suspected that Mary would probably use the Peaceful Moments Poppies on her card, so I wanted to go in a different directions for mine!  I used the Forever Blossoms stamp set and multicolored flowers!  I’m always drawn to the trays of mixed color flowers in the spring!  I always have a hard time choosing just one or two colors for my flower pots.

Stampin’ Details:

    • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Thick Whisper White cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
    • The 3-1/2 x 4-3/4 piece of Whisper White cardstock is embossed with the Coastal Weave Embossing Folder and added on top.
    • A 1-1/4 x 3 piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock was added to the background.
    • A 3/4 x 5-1/2 strip of Shaded Spruce cardstock was added across the front.
    • The flower branch from Forever Blossoms was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Whisper White cardstock, then colored with the following Light & Dark Stampin’ Blends:  Rococo Rose, Flirty Flamingo, Purple Posy, Mango Melody and Shaded Spruce.
    • The flower branch was cut with the Cherry Blossom Dies and added to the front of the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
    • Wink of Stella was added to the flowers.
    • A piece of yellow Baker’s Twine (FREE SAB) was tied in a bow on the stem and a trio of the Sequins in that package added to the background.
    • The greeting was stamped on a 1/2 x 3-1/4 piece of Whisper White and added to the Shaded Spruce layer on the front.

I think I did pretty good with the paper flower inspiration!  I really like how it turned out!  OK…check out what Mary did with the Inspiration Monday Challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 20 years and will have my 19th year 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 Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, 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!
