Frosted Florals

I really like all of the colors on these flowers and leaves. Any one of these colors can be highlighted by simply choosing it as the card base. I chose Blushing Bride. Thoughts? 

Frosted Florals

Stamps:

   None

Paper:

   Blushing Bride A-2

   Blackberry Bliss 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Frosted Floral DSP 5-1/4 x 4

Technique:

First, I adhered the Frosted Floral DSP panel onto a Blackberry Bliss matte and then onto the Blushing Bride card front.

I chose to not add embellishments for easy mailing, but you can easily add rhinestones, pearls, ribbon or anything else you like or have on hand.

Here is another card that is a bit different, simply because it is a different cut from the same sheet. What do you think?

Frosted Florals Too

Since, I only have one sheet of this DSP, it is unique and can not be duplicated.

Live Well

Cutting two designer series paper panels at the same time, makes this technique a cinch. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Oh My Goodies

   Hello Life

Paper:

   Basic Black A-2

   Stacked With Love DSP 3-1/4 x 4-1/2 (2)

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2), Scraps

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   Starburst 

Accessories:

   Deco Labels Collection Framelits

   1/4" Black Grosgrain Ribbon 5-1/2"

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I cut two sheets of designer series paper together to be able to alternate colors. Each pattern is to face up so that every other triangle is switched between panels. I cut from the center of the panel outward to the edge, keeping the corners intact.

I then placed the triangles on the Basic White panel as shown above, creating the starburst effect. I adhered each piece to the Basic White panel. Trim off any excess.

Next, I added some black ribbon to hide the seam of the pattern paper and the Basic White panel.

I then stamped and punched the sentiment, using the Deco Labels Collection Framelits.

Next, I attached the sentiment using dimensionals.

Lastly, I stamped the heart doodle on the bottom of the card and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

I then brushed the wreath with Soft Sea Foam and stamped images, using the Merry Minis stamps. 

Next, I attached the wreath onto the glimmer paper, using dimensionals.

I then adhered the ribbon with the sentiment clearly in the center. I wrapped the ribbon around to the back and secured it with glue dots. You can use any adhesive you like. I also use glue dots on the back of the ribbon to keep it secured onto the glimmer paper.

Next, I adhered this panel onto a Basic Black matte and then onto the Real Red card front.

I then added the boxwood wreath, using glue dots.

The red bow was gifted to me by a fellow stamper, so I don't have any info on it. I adhered it onto the top center of the wreath, using a glue dot.
