Be Inspired - Floral Fun

Be Inspired Design Team Blog Hop

Hello, welcome to Valley Inspirations with Andrea. I am delighted to be part of the Be Inspired Design Team. This month it’s time for some:

FLORAL FUN

I had recently used the amazing Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder and have fallen in love with it. The embossing it creates is beauuuutiful so it is perfect for some floral fun. Also, I was in the mood for some fussy cutting. Here is what I came up with:

I must admit I love creating with flowers, though am unsure of my flower arranging as I am not great at arranging the real thing. Recently, I had been looking at the beautiful Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper so took my Snips and started fussy cutting a range of leaves and flowers. Some of this gorgeous DSP to create a slim-line envelope to fit the card.

With a Basic White card base and front panels, one of the front panels was embossed with the gorgeous Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder had been lightly swiped with a Stampin’ Up! Basic Beige Classic inkpad. A Mini Blending Brush lightly dabbed over any heavy ink sections before a Basic White panel was embossed. I love the subtle effect - it is a pity it doesn’t show as well on the photos.

A thin panel of Basic White Card-stock was laid over the bottom of the embossed panel and a thin strip of coming Secret Sea Glimmer Paper was adhered over the mid line.

All the flowers were arranged and a Basic Beige ribbon was cut in half lengthwise, tied into a bow and tucked in amongst the flowers. I had a heat embossed sentiment sitting on my work station which worked perfectly with the card - it just needed fussy cutting. A number of the lovely Strawberry Slush & Pretty In Pink Gems were sprinkled around. 

Just a couple of touches were added to link the inside with the card front. I will add a Secret Sea stamped sentiment when I know who will be receiving the card.

Thank you so much for calling in on your way around the Be Inspired Blog Hop.
