Beautiful Blooms in Blues - Stampin' Up!® Gallery Blooms

   I'm always so excited to share new products with my stampers but I have to rein myself in and remember that there are still Annual Catalog products to promote as well.  I compromised a bit with today's card that we made at my last class by just adding in a little bit of new along with the current.  Do you see that gorgeous Glimmer Paper??  While the color listed on the product description says it's dark gray I think it's spot on for Secret Sea! It's gorgeous and my stampers loved seeing it in person!

  While you can see the sparkle from the Glimmer paper there is more sparkle on this card that just doesn't show up well in the photo.  We used Wink of Stella mixed with a few drops of reinker to paint parts of this card for extra shimmer!

  This card starts with a Secret Sea card base.  Then on a panel of Cloud Cover the edges were trimmed down with a Textured Notes die and one of the Beautiful Motifs dies which cuts the leaf sprig into the paper.  It doesn't cut it all way out but the leaves are still attached so you can pop them out for dimension.  We used the Wink of Stella ink mix to highlight the details on the leaves.

  A bit of Secret Sea Faux Linen ribbon is wrapped around the Cloud Cover panel before it's adhered.  Next two more die cuts are clustered together to create a nice little group.  One is a flower die cut from Secret Sea cardstock and the other is a stamped flower in Secret Sea ink.  The stamped flower is also colored ink using the Wink of Stella ink mix.

  The new Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper is punched with the Heartfelt Hexagon punch and the stamped and die cut sentiment is adhered.  The sentiment die cut is also made with the Textured Notes dies and look how perfect it fits across this punch! Like it was made to on purpose.  I'm glad I discovered this nice pairing of supplies! It's then popped on dimensionals over the ends of the flower die cuts to cover up the messy ends.

  Finally some rhinestones are sprinkled around the card for a last bit of bling.

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
