Floral Hello

Hello to you all.

My friend and I have just spent a couple of days away doing a Christmas Book Nook and a Veranda Nook……we had no idea what we were letting ourselves in for – so much work and fine detail needed for those projects. It absolutely blew my mind – so I had to come back and make a card as I know how to do that…..! I don’t think that is something I’m going to be doing much of in the future – but I really enjoyed what we did do.

I have a card to share using a new stamp and die set from the recent Stamptember collaboration with Simon Says Stamp and Concord & 9th:

I stamped all the images in the stamp set, but decided to use only these couple of sprigs for a more clean look.

The background panel is a 3D embossing folder from Spellbinders, adhered with tape. I die cut these three sprigs after stamping the two layers for each colour.

The two stripes of blue are from a little packet I keep my strips in, and the circle was die cut and stamped with an sentiment from that same stamp set.

The stamp set has a large poinsettia flower and even though I stamped and die cut that – it is sitting on my desk for another project – I didn’t want to cover up too much of the embossing.

I shall be entering the following challenges:

Color Throwdown – green, orange, blue

Crafty Catz Weekly Challenge – anything goes

Allsorts – anything goes – option to add texture taken (3D embossing folder)

The Flower Challenge – anything goes with flowers

CYHTP – embossing folder – option of spooky not taken

    There’s something so stunning about a white embossed background and a small yet beautiful bloom to decorate it. Your card is absolutely gorgeous and I’m so glad you decided to share with us at The Flower Challenge!

    That is an amazing folder and looks great behind your flowers. Keeping the additional elements as simple as you have means the texture really shines.

    I just love this embossing folder and have not had a chance to use it on a card yet. Thanks for the inspiration. Your little cluster of flowers under the hello sentiment is perfect. Thanks for playing over at The Flower Challenge.
