Let's Celebrate You - SUO Challenges #222 - catalogue sneak peak

This could be an Anniversay card or a birthday card, or a card for any celebratory event. When I saw the new challenge for SUO Challenges -celebrations -  I immediately thought of this new "Stamp and Bloom" stamp set available in the new annual catalogue starting June 2



Because foil reflects  light, it  is notoriously difficult to photograph and this card with foil on it is no exception. Gold foil makes a card look  so elegant.

The card base is  5 by 5 Square Whisper White card , layered first with Gold Foil, and then Whisper White.

The floral images were stamped on a separate piece of Whisper White, and coloured with Stampin' Blends - the flowers in Petal Pink, and Flirty Flamingo; the leaves in Granny Apple Green.  Gold glitter was added to the round greenery and the flower centers. It was die cut with the coordinating Grow and Bloom dies.

The gold embossed sentiment  was die cut with the Nesting Label Die. The same size of Nesting Label die was used to die cut a gold foil.  The ends were trimmed off this gold foil die and matted to each end of the Whisper White label die. Foil was not added to the upper and lower edges as the flowers would be covering this up.

This label was then adhered to the  card front, with the two floral die cuts added above and below it using dimensionals.


The inside of the card is layered in a similar manner and the sentiment gold embossed.

Stamp:  Bloom and Grow
Inks:  Black Memento, Versa Mark, Stampin' Blends (Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight)
