Good Morning Everyone
I hope you are all well.
Today I've been playing around with the Bold Bouquet Stamp Set and the Inked Botanicals DSP. Now, these aren't in the same suite I thought they would work. If you look closely at the large mat layer I have used for the background you will notice tiny Calypso Coral and Crushed Curry Flowers. Now i'm not 100% sure what these flowers are, but the pointy petals felt reminiscent of the smaller flower in Bold Bouquet and I just went from there!
Measurements
Pecan Pie Card Stock
1pc - 5 7/8" x 8 1/4", scored at 4 1/8"
Very Vanilla Card Stock
1pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"
scraps
Inked Botanicals DSP
1pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"
4pc - 1/2" strips
------------------------------------------------------
Take the Pecan Pie card stock and fold along the score line to create your card base.
Add a strip of the DSP to the right hand side of the Very Vanilla cardstock and add to the inside of the card.
Arrange the three remaining strips of DSP over the larger piece of DSP towards the left, trying to leave even gaps between. Trim off any overhanging DSP and make sure they are all flush with the piece below.
Pop this onto the card front.
On scraps of Very Vanilla stamp the sentiments, I used both Calypso Coral and Crushed Curry Ink. Cut out using the lasting label punch, keeping the sentiment over to the right hand side.
On some more scraps of Very Vanilla stamp the flowers and leaves. I used Lost Lagoon for the leaves, Calypso coral for the large flower and Crushed curry for the smaller flower. I used first generation stamping for the outline, then 2nd generation (stamped off onto crap once first) for the solid in fill stamps. I fussy cut all my images as I didn't want a border, but you could run these through your Cut & Emboss machine with the coordinating dies.
Now, stick down the label onto the front of the card - place it centrally in the larger section of DSP to the right, then to the left add the flowers and leaves. I used both dimensionals and liquid glue to adhere these down to give different heights and a bit of extra interest.
