My card for today is a mix of stamping and paper cutting. The easy kind of paper cutting. It is a great image cut from the DSP. The gorgeous Natures Sweetness DSP.
Papers
This card is more Paper than stamping so I am beginning here. The image is cut from the Natures Sweetness Designer Series paper. I fussy cut it to get around the flower. The darkness of the circle was there, but I colored the rest of the flower with Stampin’ Blends. I even googled it from the wording on the stamp set. It is a bloom on a tree that can be a variety of things. The name sounded like a prune, but the blossom is an almond!
The background paper is also from the Natures Sweetness Designer Series paper. This is another of the non-gold sheets, in other words, the back of a gold sheet. I love the splattered and faded look. So I paired it with the color I used for the center of the flower, Sweet Sorbet. And that was based on the picture I found.
Stamps
The front sentiment is from the Layering Leaves stamp set. This font is wonderful and really holds it’s own on a card. On the inside I used a sentiment from the Notes of Nature stamp set. A pairing to the paper. The front sentiment is cut using the 2″ Circle Punch.
Dies
To give a backing to the flower, I added a circle from the Deckled Circles Dies. These are carrying over and will be an Online Exclusive once the Mini retires. I used the 7th largest. There are a lot of dies in the set!! The rough edges are perfect for this layer as the floral layer is not smooth either.
Finishes
To add more color to the card, and to ground the sentiment a bit, I added a length of the Sweet Sorbet and White ribbon. A simple knot is a great way to add just a touch of an item. And to complete the card my bling is the 2022-2024 In Color Pearls. The Sweet Sorbet ones are a little darker and that is fine. It helps them pop a little better.
