Stamp Set Challenge

One of the challenges at Sudsol this week was to use the Secret Garden stamp set from the current Seasonal Catalogue.   This is one of the stamp sets that has matching framelits to cut the images.  I used a sketch I have used many times to create my card.

I embossed the lower two-thirds of Very Vanilla card using the Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder.  I wrapped the embossed card with Summer Starfruit 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon and attached it to scored and folded Cherry Cobbler card.   I stamped the greeting from the Petite Pairs stamp set onto the top right hand corner using Cherry Cobbler ink.  I stamped the leaf image from the Secret Garden stamp set onto Very Vanilla card using Gumball Green ink and cut them using the matching framelit.  I stamped two of the flower images onto Very Vanilla card using Cherry Cobbler ink and cut them out using the matching framelit.  I attached the leaves and then one of the flowers to the card front using Glue Dots.  I cut the second flower and attached only the centre part to the full flower using a dimensional.  I tied a small piece of Summer Starfruit 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon around the ribbon already attached to the card front.  Lastly I added one of the Large Pearl Basic Jewels to the centre of the flower.

I love the layout of this card, it is simple one that really puts the focus on the flower and leaves.   What do you think?

Bye for now, Kris.
