One of my favorite things about being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is having access to all kinds of fabulous stamping ideas through their demo-exclusive Stampin' Connection website and monthly Stampin' Success magazine.
The embellishment for today's project comes directly from our magazine…
The blossom embellishment features lots of layers using the Floral Frames Framelits and Delicate Doilies Sizzlits. Lots of dimension and textures and very little stamping at all!
My card starts with a Soft Suede base, with a strip of coordinating Comfort Café paper. I added a Very Vanilla Finishing Touches border to one side of the paper, and a piece of Cherry Cobbler Scallop Dots Ribbon to the other. The Curly Cute sentiment is stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink.
For the awesome blossom, I used the Cherry Cobbler Core'dinations card stock with the Floral Framelit die-cuts in three sizes and layered them on all three sizes of the Delicate Doilies Sizzlits in First Edition Designer Series Paper.
The entire blossom is layered on a Labels Collecion die-cut from Crumb Cake card stock, and that's pierced with the Festive Paper Piercing Templates. I added an Antique Brad for the flower center.
My favorite part of the blossom is the Woodgrain embossing on each layer. It creates a terrific striped texture that I gently sanded with the Sanding System (see Core'dinations sanding tips). Too Cool!
