Fabulous Florets

You will find this fabulous stamp set in the Summer Mini catalog from Stampin' Up!.  Catalog can be downloaded from the top of my blog page.

Stampin' Up! Products

• Pacific Point card base
• 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

• Whisper White cardstock Layer #2
• 3 1/4" x 4 1/2"
• Fabulous Florets and Sincere Salutations stamp sets
• Old Olive and Riding Hood Red ink
• Dimensionals

The stem was first stamped on Layer #1 using Old Olive ink.  The flower was them stamped on top of the stem in Riding Hood Red ink.  On a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock, I stamped the flower and the leaves.  I cut out the flower leaving a 1/16" inch edge and the leaves were cut without an edge.  Dimensionals were used to "pop up" the flower and leaves.

I have been asked if my cards are available for purchase; my answer is yes.  I will be posting a special section in my blog showing the cards I currently have available for purchase.  The card(s) can be mailed directly to you or I will mail them to your designated recipient.  Check back for more information regarding how you can purchase my cards.
