Flower Shop from Stampin' Up!
One stamp sets that WON'T retire May 31 is the Flower Shop set. . . and that makes me very happy. I used one of the detailed pansies from Flower Shop and stamped it twice on Daffodil Delight cardstock then layered them together to make the flowers for this card. The centers of each pansy include a new Glitter Enamel Dot. I had planned to use the triple leaves from the Flourish dies on this card, but when I opened the package of Flourish dies, this larger stem ad leaf die jumped out at me say "use me!; use me!". Some time you just have to listen to those little voices.
The Flourish thinlits works best if you run the die and cardstock through the Big Shot a couple of time and then reposition it on another area of your Big Shot precision plate and run it through two more times. I always look at the back to ensure that every line has cut through, and then when I use the die brush and foam to remove the tiny pieces, it comes out cleanly and looks beautiful. To attach this delicate die cut to the Whisper White piece that had been embossed with the Elegant Dots Textured Impressions Embossing folder I knew that the fine-tipped glue pen or the multipurpose liquid glue might not hold well on the textured surface and could create a glue mess. So I used the tip of my paper piercer to roll up glue dots and added the smaller glue dots at strategic points on the detailed die cut. It worked really well and was no more time consuming than adding glue from the fine tipped glue pen to all of the detailed surface.
Notice the white, stitched Xs on the ribbon? This is the new 1/4" Daffodil Delight double-stitched ribbon. It has two rows of parallel stitching on one side. When you use the opposite side of the ribbon, it has rows of Xs.
The sentiment is from the Fabulous Flamingo stamp set, one of the new sets in the June 1 catalog. It is stamped in Basic Black Archival ink. It is stamped on an oval from the Stitched Sahpes Framelits die set, which can be purchased now using order number 145372, and will premiere in the new June 1 catalog.
