- Flower Shop set makes lovely card
- Sew new retired items added to the Clearance Rack
Lovely Flower Shop Pansies
Today I pulled out the Flower Shop set and quickly created this card to send my mother in Minnesota. While it is full-on Spring in Houston, I know it is still freezing-cold where she lives. I think this will cheer her up.
I used three stamp sets to create this card. For the flowers, I used Flower Shop stamped in Craft Whisper White ink. The stems are from the Touches of Textures set, and the sentiment is from the Designer Tin of Cards. The ribbon is 5/8" Organza Ribbon in Whisper White.
I used the Elegant Dots Textured Impression folder to create the background behind the folders. I cut a circle with the Stitched Shapes Framelit Dies. I matted the Whisper White sentiment circle with a scalloped circle in Pear Pizzazz. I added Basic Pearls to the center of each flower.
I like to photograph my cards in natural light. The light was changing in my studio as I photographed these cards and I see the cards shift from bright white to a soft glow of sunlight. I used the Pansy punch to punch out each flower.
