brocade blossoms

Yes, you might have guessed, another really simple card. On this one I used the Blossoms Abound set. Can you believe this set is retiring in August? Sad, isn't it? It's really such a lovely set and the two step stamping makes it so easy to make elegant cards.


For this card I used bashful blue ad brocade blue ink on the flowers and certainly celery and always artichoke for the leaves and stem. I stamped everything on whisper white and added an always artichoke and brocade blue mats. I then added the image to a 4x5.25" piece of certainly celery card stock and embellished this mat with some always artichoke narrow grosgrain ribbon and an "s" shape clip from the aged copper hodgepodge hardware collection (this is also retiring in August, but you can get it while supplies last at 25% off -- Woo hoo!) Then, to finish off the card, I mounted the whole thing to a brocade blue base.

And there you have it -- a perfect all-occasion card.
