Using the Framelits – Apothecary Accents and the Big Shot Machine, I die cut my main image panel.

Loaded the flower stamp from the Bloomin’ Marvelous Stamp set with Versamark then added More Mustard marker to the middle of the stamp and Tempting Turquoise to the flower petals on the stamp.  Then stamped the image.  Repeated this twice loading the stamp each time.   Heat embossed the flowers using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

Load the leaf stamp from the Bloomin’ Marvelous set with Versamark and the Old Olive ink and then stamped the image.  Repeated 3 more times loading the stamp each time.   Heat embossed the images using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

Brayered Cajun Craze ink at an angle on the main image panel.

Wiped the embossed images off with a paper towel.

Stamped the Hummingbird using Old Olive ink.

Die cut the largest Framelits – Apothecary Accents die using Tempting Turquoise card stock.  Stamped the flower on the right side of the card stock using Tempting Turquoise ink.

Stamped the flower using Not Quite Navy ink and then sponged the Not Quite Navy ink on the edges.

Punched a small circle of Tempting Turquoise and then added it to the center of the Designer Builder Brad and added it to the main image panel.  Added a Silver brad to the left side.

Used the Fancy Fan embossing folder and the Big Shot Machine to emboss a Cajun Craze panel.

Added a Tempting Turquoise panel, Soft Suede panel and another Cajun Craze panel.  Also, added  Soft Suede ribbon and popped the main image panel up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Added a Whisper White card base.

Here is the finished card measuring 4.25″ x 5.5″.

May your day be very special.

Until my next post. . . . . .
