Floral Romance for GDP#175 |

This week’s challenge at the Global Design Project has a theme of Down the Garden Path. I thought I would share the Fabulous Floral Romance suite that I used to make a card for the Sunday class at our recent WLCR Crafty Escape to the Country. There was a choice of making a piece of Home Decor, a set of cards, or even both! Most people opted for both so they went home with a ton of creations!!

So back to today’s creation. This was one of my simplest cards from my Sunday class but I think my favourite. With all the #simplestamping around, I am slowly getting used to white space. I made a really #simplestamping card using this suite last week, you can see it here.

Tips and Tricks for my Floral Romance Card

I wanted to make full use of all the colours and ingredients of the suite, so I wanted to include some fussy cut leaves from the vellum DSP. There are two double-sided paper designs in the DSP collection and two vellum designs – all are gorgeous!
I’ve die-cut some other leaves in both Pear Pizzazz and Mossy Meadow cardstock.
The blossom sprays have been die-cut in Petal Pink and Fresh Fig and the elements were all joined together and topped with a gold floral seal.
I’ve also stamped some more leaves, flowers and dots in Fresh Fig, Mossy Meadow and Pear Pizzazz.
Finally I’ve taken a strip of Pear Pizzazz and heat embossed my sentiment in White.

Here is a close-up of my element. The dies are just fab as they both cut and emboss the leaves.
