Here's a little FLORAL creation to brighten up your day: just for YOU! I was playing with this dazzling combination, inspired by Dawn McVey, in this week's colors from her Raspberry Suite #12 color challenge! She sure can pick 'em! I decided to get all floral with my new "Flower Fancy" stamp set from Stampin' Up! It's a gorgeous, two-step set that is extremely versatile and reminds me about one of my favorite reasons that I heart S/U! TWO step stampin': too cool!
See that big, hunky flower and leaves! That's only one of several other leaf and flower combinations in the complete set of 10 stamps: FABULOUS!
I finally remembered to use one of the great Cuttlebug embossing folders "I had to have!", HOUNDSTOOTH! Is that tactile or what! Check out the close up of that effect! Delicious! One of the best things about the texture is that is almost creates a half-tone effect in the celery/moss color, but it's just reflected light and cast shadow: MAGIC! That's what I call it!
Look at those leaves: doesn't Dawn find the most fabulous sources of color combos!?! WOW!
Anyway, darling friends-o-the blog land... here's one last shot of my card in it's entirety!
This IS "just for you!" Thanks SO very, very much for stopping by! Have a spectacular day!
