Extraordinary Friends - Stampin' Up!® Extraordinary Flora

   I'm heading away from seasonal cards today and using a fun set of colors from the Stampin' Up! Only Challenge.  They gave us an inspiration photo and I pulled the colors that I saw; Smoky Slate, Timid Tiger and Strawberry Slush.  I hadn't used the Extraordinary Flora stamp set in a bit and I thought these colors would work well for flowers.

    I started with a Smoky Slate card base and then added a layer of Country Lace DSP in a subtle striped pattern.  I cut a Smoky Slate frame with the Gallery Blooms dies for a nice base for the rest of the elements.

  The sentiment is from the Gathering Moments stamp set and is stamped in Memento black on a Traditional Labels die.  Both the label and frame are popped on dimensionals.

  The Extraordinary Flora stamp is stamped in Memento Black then colored with blends.  Once they were die cut I arranged them on opposite corners with a few of the flowers popped on dimensionals.

  Finally a few retired Adhesive-backed sparkle gems are added around the flowers for a tiny bit of bling.

  I love how the flowers just pop against the neutral background and really frame out the sentiment.

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
