Sweet and Simple

Hello everyone,

I couldn't stop at just one pressed flower card.

The card base is Oyster Canson Papercraft card stock.  The flower is Pressed Flower Stickers.  The sentiment is Bonnidee French Wording #1 stamped in Stampin' Up Bravo Burgundy ink on Very Vanilla and layered on Bravo Burgundy and textured Always Artichoke.  The bottom layer was punched with Martha Stewart's String Lace Border Punch.  The embellishments are Close To My Heart Bitty Pearl Opaques.

Isn't this a beautiful card?  I should have used a border punch on yesterday's card to add that little extra.  This was the only big flower in the two packages I had in my stash.  It is big enough to make a great statement all on it's own.  I love the little pearls on the border, they fit so perfectly on the cross marks.  It's been a lot of fun going through the stash to see what I've got hidden away.  I'm sure I'm going to find even more goodies.

I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.

Fall Floral

Hello everyone,

I'm still on a Fall inspiration kick.  I've also been going through my supply stash, finding inspirational embellishments.

The card base is Oyster Canson Papercraft card stock.  The flowers are Pressed Flower Stickers affixed to Stampin' Up Very Vanilla layered on Worldwin Mettalics and textured Stampin' Up Always Artichoke.  The sentiment is Verve Love Story stamped in Early Espresso on Very Vanilla.  The embellishments are Close To My Heart Mocha Opaques.

I picked up these pressed flowers from Multicrafts eons ago.  I didn't have any definitive plans for them at the time but just really like them.  It was time to use them and they are perfect for this card.  It was a challenge to fit in the sentiment and I'm not certain about it's placement but it still makes for a lovely card.

I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.
