This card started with floral paper from Making Memories Vintage Findings Collection. I don't think I ever would have combined these colors on my own, but I love the vivid happy feel. I designed my card using a tall version of Jen's Sketch for You to Try.
The Inque Boutique Monarch stamps are my go-to flourish set because the clear stamp design alows me to add them after my card is all put together, like I did here, when I realized the tall design made that corner feel a bit empty. I lined a scrap piece of paper up against the DP before stamping, so the ink didn't get on the card base. I also love this new embossing folder and the fun water lily flower punch from Martha Stewart.
this is gorgeous…the colors are so striking..hmmm…I gotta use my vintage findings kits…I’ve been hoarding them..
Where is the embossing folder on your card from? I didn’t see a company on that. It’s a great one as is your wonderful card. Thanks.
Sorry about that … it's the Oriental Weave from Cuttlebug
