Flower Power Simply Sent Kit

Friday I received all of the Control Freak swap cards in the mail.  The cards are all amazing!  Now that all of the participants have received their cards, I can show you what I made.



I signed up to use the Wow Flowers stamp set.  It coordinates beautifully with the Flower Power Simply Sent Kit so I decided to use that too.  I love the color combination used in this kit.  They are definitely colors I wouldn't have thought of putting together on my own, but they're gorgeous together.  I also really like the striped designer series paper that comes in the kit. 

For the ribbon I took a piece of More Mustard ribbon and tied a single knot in the middle.  I slid a piece of Elegant Eggplant ribbon through the knot and then pulled it tight.



Each scalloped circle is made of six different punches layered on top of each other.  I was thrilled to find that the flower inside the "happy birthday" stamp fits perfectly in our Boho Blossom punch.  I wanted to pop the flower up on a dimensional, but I didn't want to have to cut each one out by hand.  Thank goodness Stampin' Up! coordinates their products together.  It saved me so much time.

As you can see, I paper pierced holes in each of the scalloped circles as well as in the scalloped edge that runs down the side of the designer series paper.  I think paper piercing adds a nice finishing touch to cards.

I need to run.  I hope you have a wonderful Monday.  As always, thanks for stopping by!  ~Dannie
