For this month’s hop we are highlighting the new In Colours and I have created a bold floral card.
We are a group of Demonstrators, led by Louise, seeking to learn, implement and improve our use of technology and online resources in our businesses.
A Bold Floral Card

- Tools: Scalloped Contours Dies, Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine

| A4 Metric Cardstock | Imperial Letter Size Cardstock | |
| Thick Basic White Card Base | 10.5cm x 29.7cm Scored at 14.9cm on the long side. | 4 1/4″ x 11″ Scored at 5 1/2″ on the long side. |
| Fresh Freesia | 14.4cm x 10cm | 5 1/4″ x 4“ |
| Basic White | 13.9cm x 9.5cm | 5″ x 3 3/4″ |
| Fresh Freesia for label | 10cm x 6.5cm | 4″ x 2 3/4″ |

Instructions
- Fold card base on score line. Stick Fresh Freesia mat to the card base.
- On the Basic White layer stamp the flower and the bud randomly all over. Use Evening Evergreen for the large flower outline and Fresh Freesia for the in fill stamp. Next use Soft Succulent for the bud outline and Polished Pink to fill in. Finally, using the “spotty” stamp, fill in between the flowers with Pale Papaya.
- Die cut the two scalloped labels. On the Basic White label stamp the greeting on the right hand side with polished Pink. On the left side stamp some Pale Papaya spots.
- Stamp another large flower on an oddment of Basic White in Early Evergreen and fill in with Fresh Freesia. Use the coordinated die to cut out.
- Stick the two labels together and add to the card front with dimensionals. Tie a bow with the gold thread and stick underneath the die cut flower with a glue dot. Stick the flower in place with dimensionals.
- Don’t forget to decorate the inside of your card and your envelope. I again used the large flower and the spots.
