The Flower Challenge: Use Your Latest Stamps–Take 2 and Seize the Birthday

A couple of nights ago, I spent the evening coloring all the images I had stamped with my new Pink Fresh Studio set, “Fleur 1.” I didn’t have anything in particular in mind. The next morning I set out to create some cards with the images, and I ended up with four cards, all quite different. This is definitely not my usual method for creating cards, but in this case, it proved rather interesting. You’ll see the results over the next few days.  I also tried to use some of the pre-cut die cuts and card fronts I had in my stash. Today’s card is another entry for The Flower Challenge to use your latest stamps, and for the Anything Goes theme at Seize the Birthday.

The floral arrangement on this card is the largest of the designs in the “Fleur 1” set. The woodgrain panel with the oval die cut was in my stash, and I added it to the front of a bright yellow card. The tiny tag is from Papertrey Ink’s “Stemmed Statements” set as is the sentiment. 

The oval die cut was adhered to the yellow card with dimensional tape, and the flowers were colored with Copic markers. The tag is embellished with a piece of yellow and white ribbon that has been in my stash for years.

My first card created with this set was very clean and simple and you can find it here. All five cards that I’m made so far are quite different, and I have some ideas for other designs as well. I think this set will get a lot of use.
