I mentioned yesterday that while I wanted to create over the weekend I needed some inspiration to get my StampinMojo going. I used my Inspiration Folder again for today's card.
And here is the card
It took some time for me to determine how to get the colors and depth I wanted and then I was stamping, punching and cutting the flowers. Using my Stampin' Up! tools, Secret Garden Stamp set and matching Framelits this card came together easily.
The border is unexpected and takes this card from simply floral to contemporary. I started with 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 base in Whisper White. Using Smoky Slate as the base (cut 1/4" smaller than the base of the card) I punched out 1/2" circles from Whisper White scraps that I had. I decided an odd number of circles on each side of the rectangle would be just right.
For the floral center (3" x 4 1/4") I stamped the leaves in Soft Suede and then I stamped the flowers in the same color ink as the paper and cut them out with the coordinating framelits. I used Soft Sky, Calypso Coral, and Wild Wasbi. The Soft Sky flowers were elevated with Stampin Dimensionals for added depth.
I hope I inspired you today for a fresh look and to bring Spring into you world. Make it a great day.
