Two Toned Flora Anniversary Card and FMS Challenge #575

Thanks for dropping by today.   Like a lot of places on the west coast we had a cold front settle in this past week.  Brrrrrrrrr the wind chill has really dropped the normally mild end of February temps to record lows.   The good news about bad weather is that I actually get some play time in my craft room.  

I've been working on Karens Freshly Made Sketch FMS#575.  Here's the sketch:

Here's My Card: 




Details:

Stamp Sets:    

  • Two Toned Flora bundle includes Two Toned Flora stamp set and the Two Toned Flora dies.  

Ink:

  • Soft Succulent
  • Fresh Freesia
  • Flirty Flamingo 
  • Highland Heather           

DSP:   

Accessories:   

  • Cane 3-D Embossing Folder 
  • Tailor Made Tag Dies 
  • Sequins
  •  Dimensionals 
Mats and Design Element: 
  • Fresh Freesia card base measures 8 1/2" 5 1/2" and is scored at 4 1/4"
  • Highland Heather mat measures 5 1/4" x 4"
  • For DSP and White Mat I cut a piece of the Fancy Flora DSP to 2" x 4 7/8" and adhered to the Highland Heather mat, leaving an 1/8" border on top, side and bottom.  I cut a piece of Whisper White card stock to 2" by 4 7/8 and embossed it with the Cane 3D Embossing Folder before mounting it to the Highland Heather mat. 
  • The tag was cut from a scrap of Whisper White card stock with the Tailor Made Tag Dies and the Happy Anniversary sentiment was stamped in Highland Heather Ink. The tag was adhered below the flower onto the Whisper White mat.
  • The floral element began by stamping three of the flowers from the Two Toned Flora Stamp set onto Whisper White card stock.  I stamped two flowers with Fresh Freesia and Highland Heather ink, and one using Flirty Flamingo.  For the first layer I stamped off once for the details I went full strength with the ink.  The leaves were stamped with Soft Succulent ink.  Flowers and leaves were die cut with the Two Toned Flora Dies and adhered to the circle with adhesive and dimensionals. 
  • Inside panel is a 4" by 5 1/4" piece of Whisper White.  I stamped the sentiment in Highland Heather and one of the large flowers in Fresh Freesia and Highland Heather.  

This was a great sketch, and made the card come together quickly without a lot of fuss once the flowers had been stamped and the mats adhered to the card front.  I'm sure I'll be using it again in the near future as I have some thank you cards it would make quick work of.  
The Two Toned Flora set was really fun to work with.  I experimented a bit with the inks I was using before stamping on the card stock.  The stamps were easy to work with but you need to play with them a bit to make sure you're lined up so you get the best floral image.  Having the dies for these flowers made assembly easier too.  

Well that's it for my card today.  Be sure to pop on over to Freshly Made Sketches to check out the Design Teams cards and all the other wonderful participant cards.  It just might give you a nudge to make your own card with this design.  

Happy Stamping!
