Beautiful Bouquet with Retiring Colors

Another day and another card depicting some retiring colours part of Stampin' Up's colour revamp.  Today's colours:  Rose Red and Pink Pirouette and I also include Glimmer Paper and the Post Edge punch.  Always Artichoke was the topic yesterday and is included today as well.

The base card is Rose Red, layered with Whisper White then Pink Pirouette DSP embossed with the Sparkle embossing folder (returning).

In the middle is a strip of Rose Red card stock which has a strip of Iridescent glimmer paper punched with the ticket edge punch.

On a Lots of Label die cut, I built a bouquet of flowers die cut using the Beautiful Bouquet Framelits.  Some were die cut using Rose Red card stock; some with Pink Pirouette.  The Pink Pirouette flowers were sponged with Perfect Plum ink (also retiring) to give it some depth. All flowers had Clear Wink of Stella applied. The stem is Always Artichoke.

 At the base of the flowers I added a bow made with the 1/4" White Organza ribbon, and then added a tag with "Hello" stamped with Rose Red ink and a small rhinestone at the top.

I added a few fallen flowers at the bottom of the die cut label.  The focal image was then added to the card front with dimensionals.
