The new 2014-15 Stampin' Up! catalog is out and full of wonderful new products and ideas. I used the new stamp set Beautiful Bunch for the flower found on page 158. It coordinates with the new Fun Flower punch found on page 219.
The colors are Whisper White, Coastal Cabana, Calypso Coral and the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch page 22 was used to make the ribbon. The circles were made using the Circles Collection Framelits page 231.
To get the shaded look I used the "stamp off" technique with the image from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set, where you ink the stamp, stamp it off once on scrap and then stamp it on the card for a lighter less opaque look of the image. This really adds depth to your card.
I attached the flower with a Stampin' Dimensional so it is raised up a bit but not so much it won't mail.
Glad you stopped by. More cards are coming so check back often, or better yet, subscribe to my blog so you don't miss out on anything.
