SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL

This week I am featuring the SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL BUNDLE.  This is the second bundle in the Lovely & Beautiful Suite Collection.  

Today's card uses the large flower and leaves.

The Textured Notes dies were used to die cut my background for the flower.  Each of these rectangle layering dies creates a unique border on the die cut.  These awesome dies are on the Last Chance list at a discounted price.  They are currently showing as "unavailable", however they are scheduled to be back in stock the week of March 2, so they aren't gone forever -- yet. 

Two strips of embossed Basic White were added behind the flower to add a bit of texture.

I wanted this card to have a very "soft" feel, so I stamped all images in Basic Gray ink rather than black.  A bit of color was added to the center of the flower and leaves using Sponge Daubers.  To stay with the soft feel of the card, I used Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam ink. 

All of these floral images have coordinating dies, so cutting them out is quick and easy.

For the inside of the card, I used some of the smaller floral images in the set.  The leaves are stamped directly on the Basic White Cardstock, and the flower was stamped on a scrap and die cut.  Rather than stamping the flower first and then masking it to stamp the leaves around it, I decided to die cut the flower. This let me easily lay it over the leaves without having to create a mask.

Both sentiments used on this card are from the Paper Tags stamp set which is also on the Last Chance List at 50% off!
