There's a recent release by Memory Box named Gracious Floral. It includes a stamp set, dies, a coordinating embossing folder and coordinating stencils. Everything needed to create a beautiful work of art...and I'll use them all at some point (check out this stunning card by Lisa Elton). But for its first time out, I went clean and simple. I used the embossing folder and then die cut the bouquet. (I did do it in that order so the 3-D nature of the embossing folder is slightly muted since I squished it to die cut it.) I did this twice so I could add portions of it in each corner.
The sentiment is also by Memory Box and is one of my favorites because I love the sentiments and I love that it has a layer to make it pop. Then I decided the background needed a little texture so I used the Memory Box Pinpoint Leaf Plate. This was a quick and easy card, but so much amazing detail due to these fabulous products!
I hope to see you playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
