SUO167 Bloomin' Love

Hi Friends!   

Today I am sharing my card for the new SUO Challenges #167 “Timefor Valentines”! 

I decided to pull out Bloomin’ Love stamp set and pair it with the Detailed Floral Thinlits™ and Bloomin’ HeartThinlits™ for this quick card.

I decided to use the Splitcoaststampers’ CC618 Color Challenge along with the Simon Says Wednesday #Anything Goes” Challenge for the design as well.

If you have not had a chance to stop by the SU-Only Challenge site to check out the rest of the Design Team projects or the other challenge sites, I hope you will do so- wonderful inspiration from all!

To create this card:

1). Trim a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, mount onto a piece of Melon Mambo cardstock, trim and mount onto the Basic Gray card front.

2). Mount the entire card front onto the Extra Thick Whisper White card base.

3). Use the Big Shot™ along with the Detailed Floral Thinlits™ to die cut both pieces from a piece of Basic Gray cardstock and mount onto the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals®.

4). Ink the floral heart image from Bloomin’ Love with Versamark™ ink, stamp onto a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, apply Stampin’ Emboss® Silver Embossing Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool.

5). Once the embossing powder has cooled, die cut with the Layering Circle Framelits™ (also cutting one with the same size circle from Basic Gray, split in half and mount behind the floral heart image).  Die cut a circle using the next largest die from Rose Red and mount behind the image.

 5). Heat emboss the sentiment from Bloomin’ Love with silver embossing powder onto a scrap piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, create the banner with the retired Hexagon Punch, mount onto Basic Gray and Rose Red cardstock and adhere behind the layered floral image circle.

6). Mount the entire layered floral image and sentiment panel onto the card front on an angle.

7). Die cut a few of the small blossoms from the Bloomin’ Heart Thinlits™ from Rose Red cardstock, mount onto the card front and add a few Pearls to finish off the card.
