Hi there! It's the first of the month which means it's time for the Senior Design Team Challenge at Papertrey Ink. This month, Nichole asked us to dust off our Spiral Bouquet stamp sets and give 'em some lovin'.......that's so fun to do now and then, isn't it? I've got a couple of cards to show you today. I used the same single flower image on both, but by stamping them multiple times and in different patterns, I was able to create two completely different looks!
For this first card, I wanted to create a jumbo flower and I achieved that look by taking this single flower image and stamping it 3 times, basically in a triangle shape and then cutting it out. Then I stacked some buttons in the center and added a bit of aqua mist grosgrain ribbon behind it, to serve as some little leaves.
I layered the flower on a bit of ledger paper from the Library Ledger collection that I die cut using the Mat Stack 3 die. Goodness, I love that die! I stamped the sentiment from Spiral Bouquet in dark chocolate ink and finished things off with a vintage cream grosgrain bow and a bit of dotty paper also from the Library Ledger collection.
On this card, I used that same dotty paper that I used on the previous card. I stamped the sentiments from Spiral Bouquet on the bottom portion of the aqua mist card front using versamark ink and then I heat embossed them with clear embossing powder. I wanted the sentiment to pop without being to harsh. Heat embossing with clear embossing powder is always just the ticket for this look!
See the "leaves" that I stamped behind the flower? That's the same flower image from Spiral Bouquet that I used on the previous card! I die cut a bit of rustic cream card stock with the Mat Stack 1 die and then stamped the flower image twice -- pointing the tips of the petals toward the outside edges of the card stock, using spring moss ink. The harvest gold felt flower was created with the Beautiful Blooms II dies and I cut little slits into the center of the flower between each petal.
Be sure to bop around to all of the other girls on the Sr. Design Team -- they've all got fun Spiral Bouquet projects to share with you today!
