Vintage Blooms - Stampin' Up!® Gallery Blooms

 I originally started this card to play along with the Freshly Made Sketches challenge that I used a few days ago but by the time I finished the design it was a bit too layered and fussy to be considered 'fresh' so while it doesn't fit the challenge I still love how it turned out.  Basic Beige works great for a vintage feel when Basic White is too 'white'!  

  I just love this Cloud Cover and Early Espresso color combo along with the different textures!  I started with an Early Espresso base then added a layer of Early Espresso embossed with the Damask Designs embossing folder.  I was not paying attention and embossed the panel sideways but I decided to use it as is instead of re-doing it.  I should have just gone with a landscape layout instead but oh well! I added 2 circles of the Beautiful Gallery DSP in the corners and trimmed off the over hang.  A bit of Faux Seam Binding Ribbon goes across the middle of the panel.

  The flower is stamped in Early Espresso onto the Basic Beige and then is die cut with a Spotlight on Nature circle die.  I used Cloud Cover Blends to added some color to the blooms and then popped it up on dimensionals over some leaves cut with the Beautiful Motifs dies.

  The sentiment is stamped on a strip of Cloud Cover and embellished with a retired gem.  Finally a fork bow is added to the side of the flowers to finish this design.

Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
