I am a bit late showcasing the wonderful Boutique Blooms Bundle from the May Catalog. It was brought out for a card my Club created this month, and it was a hit. Mixing and matching colors and products is what I love to do. This card is one of those mixes.
Papers
The headline is the stamp bundle, however I have been starting my project explanations with the papers and decided to continue that today. After all the paper is the basis of the card. And this DSP is fabulous. It is the Bloom Boutique Designer Series Paper. The soft colors of the tiny flowers really called to me. But when you add in the touches of gold, well Oh My!!.
There was debate on which color to use as the card base and which for the layer. Flirty Flamingo was the decision on the base, with Petal Pink as the layer. Both are included in the DSP. I had seen a card on FB with the DSP being cut larger than the layer and loved the idea. This card seemed to be a perfect one to give that a try. The DSP is cut to 3 7/8 X 5 1/8 with the layer at 3 3/4 X 5. There is not a lot of overhang only enough to give you a little peek.
The other cardstock used is for the little leaves around the flowers. This is Peaceful Pine that was stamped on using Peaceful Pine ink. I love tone on tone with darker shades.
Stamp Bundle, Etc
The Bundle used to create the flower arrangement is the Boutique Blooms Bundle. There are several flowers and leaves in the set along with matching Dies to cut them. I opted for the one larger flower and then a couple of the little ones which sort of mimic the DSP pattern. They are stamped using Crisp Cantaloupe and then the small ones are “filled” with Petal Pink. I did use the new Barely Blush Shimmer Brush for some highlights but it did not show up well in my photograph. That is definitely something I have trouble with periodically.
To create the “window” of my card I went to an old favorite and one I hope does not retire any time soon. That is Stylish Shapes Dies. I used the largest of the Square shape to cut the window on the front for the DSP to shine through. And as a finish there had to be a simple sentiment. This one I found in the Cutest Crew stamp set. It is stamped using Peaceful Pine Ink to tie in the small leaves again.
Extras
The bling for this card are the wonderful, but sadly leaving us, Iridescent Foil Gems. These are on the Last Chance List but were still there today as I type. Grab them if you like subtle touches of gold. They are wonderful for that.
