Happy Saturday everyone! Today I'm sharing the card that I promised you yesterday! This one uses the layout over at Try A Sketch On Tuesday and goes down the middle column of Jolanda's TicTacToe Challenge board (diecut/dry emboss/layers)
I have been quite a few clean and simple cards later, so this one is something of a departure with lots of layers! It uses a new-to-me bundle called Forever Florals - take a look:
Here's the low-down on today's card:
My lovely teamie Ann over at The Paper Players persuaded me I 'needed' this bundle but I didn't take much persuading: the dies are so pretty and I love scripted fonts in the stamp set. I wanted to use the floral frame as the top layer, so I tweaked the TSOT sketch slightly to make the base layer square in order to fit everything in! I added a white base embossed with the Soft Waves embossing folder, the for the next layer used the large round floral cluster die, with just the edges showing on each side. The next layer is a piece of Painted Illusions designer series paper; this was February's Product of the Month but is still available whilst stocks last - you can get a pack for just £5 when you place an order of £70 or more. I love the soft pinks and the ditsy floral design works well with the Forever Florals Dies. Next I added the rectangular floral diecut frame, with a sentiment label in the centre, embellished with another cluster of pink flowers:
I also added in some shimmery ribbon and enamel dots and finished the card inside with the other half of that lovely sentiment and some leftover diecut pieces:
Isn't that just so pretty, even if I say so myself?! Not one for posting as there's too much dimension, but a special card nonetheless.
Here is the visual summary of the key products used on today's project for you to pin for easy reference:

Enjoy your day; the sun is shining here so I am typing this in between gardening and making the most of the good weather whilst we have it. I'll be back tomorrow with another project for our new challenge over at |the Paper Players. Until then, happy stampin'!
