Field Flowers Meets Flower Shop

Here is another card I found at Becky's Stampin and Scrapping blog.  The moment I laid my eyes on this I knew I just HAD to make it.  

The base of the card is Whisper White.  The Pear Pizzazz layer is cut 3-1/4" x 4-1/2".  The dotted layer is cut 1/8" smaller on two edges.  I did stamp the flower stem from the "Field Flowers" set before I ran it through the Dotted embossing folder.  

The flowers are from the "Flower Shop" set and they were stamped with VersaMark and embossed with white embossing powder on vellum paper.  Then they were punched out and set in place on the stems.  A large pearl was set in the centers of both of them.  

A ribbon bow was added to the stem area of the card.  The words were stamped using the Petite Pairs set and punched out with the oval punch.  And to finish that off the oval scallop punch was used for the layer behind the words.  

This was a very simple card to do and I didn't even mind using the embossing powder and heat tool!!!  That is how bad I wanted to make this card!!!  This would also be a very pretty get well card, thank you card, thinking of you card, Mother's Day card, and even a sympathy card.  But I opted for a birthday card.  

Thank you SO much for visiting today,
Wanda

  10. Beautiful!
    How do you punch the flower after stamping it that it's so perfect? It is truly perfect and beautiful.

  11. Craft Love, the flowers are actually not punched out perfectly. Click on the photo for a closer view. When using Vellum you can hide some things!! Vellum is a bit tricky to punch out so I usually have some card stock or sticky note behind it to get a better punch. I try to line it up as best as I can and then I just punch! Whatever happens, happens! After all, it is a handmade card!!! Have fun making this card, it is very easy to make!! Wanda

  15. The card is beautiful. I love the flower and was wondering how you made it. I couldn't tell if it were a die cut or just what. I've got to try this one. But first I need that stamp.

  16. This is simply beautiful, soft and elegant. I have your feeling that I want to make it too. I've not really used vellum but I think this is the place to start. Thankyou for your clear explanation of how to go about making this card.
