Good Evening Everyone
I hope you are all having a fabulous Weekend so far?
Today I'm blog hopping with Stamping with Friends Ladies and our focus for this hop is Retiring Products.
As you may - or may not know (where have you been if you haven't - Haha) the current annual catalogue and Mini catalogue are due to end soon, and as much as that means exciting new products - we do have to say goodbye to some too, so its our chance to showcase a bunch of retiring things for you today.
I've chosen the Framed Florets Bundle, which I'm going to miss Massively. I loved it as soon as it came out and I have used it so much, it's such a versatile set.
The card design is pretty simple, but the negative coloured background adds interest behind those gorgeous die cut frames and that Pop of colour from the raised flower really makes it special

--------------------------------------------------
Take one piece of the Basic white and cover with the little floral image to create you background. Once dry, colour all the "negative" space - all the areas except the flowers and leaves using your dark Pool Party Stampin Blends.
Then, take the same image and stamp once in the bottom right of the remaining piece of Basic White, now colour the flower and leaves in using your Shaded Spruce and Sweet Sorbet Stampin Blends.
Also, stamp this image once onto a scrap and colour as above. Cut out either by hand or using the coordinating die.
Fold the Night of Navy Card Stock along the score line and burnish to create your card base. Add the negative coloured piece to the card front and the other to the inside.
Bring in your Cut & Emboss Machine and using some Night of Navy Card Stock, cut out the larger ornate frame and also the small oval frame. Pop the thin lined frame piece to one side for another project as it's not needed for this one.
Add adhesive to the back of the large ornate frame and the coordinating oval and add to the centre of the card front.
On the smaller oval, stamp the sentiment in Versamark ink and heat set with White embossing powder. Add dimensionals to the back and place into the centre of the ornate frame.
Figure out the positioning of the coloured floral cluster and add dimensionals to where it sits on the larger oval, and a little bit of liquid glue where it is over the raised oval.
I hope you have enjoyed my card today - please take a look at the list below and continue through the hop for lots more inspiration
