Stampin’ Up! Painted Petals

My best friend Julia has some serious tooth pain right now. Obviously a card won’t fix it, but I want to send her one anyway. I was playing with the Stampin’ Up! Painted Petals set and came up with the following. Eventually.

Stampin' Up! Painted Petals

This card was hard. For no good reason other than sometimes they are. I managed to put the stalks too close together. Then I stamped the sentiment badly so that there was an extra line around it. Then it was wonky. A lot. It was one of those days. Eventually on the fourth try I had to give in. But I re-made it today and it went fine. Sometimes life is like that!

I stamped the stalks from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Petals set in pear pizzazz adding the flowers in so saffron for each trio and masking out a few for later.  I then added the missing flowers in perfect plum. After cutting out the very vanilla piece and matting it on perfect plum, I used the sentiment from A Dozen Thoughts which I stamped in versamark and then sprinkled on the clear embossing powder. After using the heat tool, this it’s a very simple matter of constructing the card but I like how simple and effective it is. I can definitely see this in a number of different colours. And I’m sure that you will too!

    It’s a lovely card. It might not help Julia with her toothache, but I’m sure it will brighten her day!
