Papers & Plums

 

I'm back! It's been a few days since my last post. Still getting used to having a blog I guess. =)Though I am happy to say I have been stamping!! Over the weekend I had the chance to play some more with my new set Beautiful Blooms from Papertreyink. I had two thank you cards that had to be made. I know, for a card maker that is such a hardship. {lol} Not really. For the first card, that I will share with you in this post, I decided to create a bouquet of flowers using the different type of blooms in the set. I stamped several flowers on a separate piece of white cardstock using different shades of ink to create a more interesting look. Then I cut them all out…and yes…that took longer than I would have preffered. I really like quick cards. I am all about instant gratification when it comes to stamping, but the result is better when I take my time. =)
Anyways, the rest was very simple. I stamped the green leaves directly on to the white card base. Then I layered the cut out flowers on top using dimensionals for a bit of pop. Then, as I reached for my little glitter bottle I thought to myself…what if I use glossy accent on the flowers instead of glitter. That would be cute. And guess what! It turned out great! I love that stuff. Makes it all shiny and smooth. Fun fun.
Here is how it all turned out.

This was really easy to make. Just a bit time consuming. I hope the recipient will enjoy it too.
