-----------------------------------------------

Take your Gorgeous Grape Card Stock and fold along the score line to create your card base, adding the Basic White piece to the inside.

Run the Sahara Sand Card stock through your Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine in the Bark 3D Embossing Folder. Lightly add some ink which sponges, daubers or blending brushes to the raised areas to add some more definition. 

Now, using two of the square image dies cut out one of each in Sahara Sand and Pear Pizzazz card stock, then cut the flower shapes that match from Gorgeous grape card stock.

Using your snips, cut away the centre images from the sahara sand pieces, so that you are left with a thin frame. Layer this to the Pear Pizzazz die cuts, then add on the flowers.

On a scrap of basic white stamp the sentiments with gorgeous grape ink and trim into a long thin strip, adding a strip og gorgeous grape card stock behind it.

Lay this on a diagonal running approx through the centre of the embosses sahara sand card stock. Glue down and trim the edges.

Add this panel to the card front.

Finally add the two framed flower pieces to the card, making them at different angles to create a bit of interest.

I hope you have enjoyed today's card. Please do check out the Creative Colour Challenges Blog, and I would love to see any of your creations with these colours.

Here's a list of supplies I used in today's project, click on the images to head over to my online store. Unfortunately the embossing folder and All Squared Away stamp set and coordinating dies will retire at the end of the month, so be sure to get them whilst you can. Product List
