IMPRESSIONS ABLOOM

Today’s card features the Impressions Abloom Bundle and the Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper.  I love to create 3D flowers and this bundle is perfect for that.  I wanted to create a card that mixed die cut flowers and stamped flowers and this is what I came up with…

The card base is Early Espresso cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I cut a piece of Floral Impressions DSP to 4 x 5 ¼” and then cut that in half at 2”.  I used the floral side of the paper for the top of my card and the green neutral back of the same design for the bottom.  I just taped the two pieces together on the back and then wrapped a piece of ¼” White Ribbon across the front and attached it in the back.  I mounted this onto my card base and went to work on my 3D flowers.  I die cut two of the larger flowers out of Daffodil Delight cardstock and four of the smaller flowers out of Petal Pink cardstock (great way to use up scraps).  I adhered the two layers of each flower to one another offsetting them just a hair.  I also die cut one large and two small flower centers out of Early Espresso cardstock and added those to the center of the flowers.  The flowers were added to the card base with Dimensionals.  I die cut two leave out of Garden Green cardstock and added them tucked up under the larger of the flowers.  The sentiment “just a note” is from the Beautiful Motifs Stamp Set and it was stamped on a scrap of Basic White cardstock with Garden Green Ink.  I then die cut it using the Stylish Shapes Dies.  I also cut a second one of the flags using that same die out of Daffodil Delight cardstock and cut it in half.  I attached each half to either end of my sentiment leaving about a ¼” of it revealed.  I added the sentiment to the front right bottom with Dimensionals.

For the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and stamped the flower (this is a two-step stamp so there are two stamps that create both the flower and the leaves) using Lemon Lolly Ink for the main image and Daffodil Delight Ink for the detailed image.  I stamped the two leaves using Garden Green Ink, I stamped off once before stamping the main image.  The center is stamped with Pecan Pie Ink for the main image and Early Espresso Ink for the detailed image. 

I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making it.  As always you can find the supplies to create this card and more on my website at https://www.stampinup.com?demoid=2206796 or by clicking the shopping button at the top of this blog or the link to the supplies listed below.  Be sure to follow me at:
