Flower Fusion #12 - Day 2

Hi everyone and welcome to day two of this months Papertrey Ink countdown. I'm so happy to hear you all like the little plaid flower in Flower Fusion #12. I've been having so much fun stamping with it and creating projects for you. Amazing how one little $5 set can bring so much joy and a ton of creative ideas!

Here is another color combo for those of you who are saving them....

The three cards I created for today are all a bit more detailed and embellished than yesterdays.

So for todays first card I started by die cutting 3 flowers and 3 flower centers. I die cut them using white cardstock and then stamped them in the colors shown above. There are two button centers for the flowers...these were stamped with the solid button center.

After die cutting my flowers I moved on to adhering all my elements. The flowers are all sitting on a circle I die cut using my Nestabilities.  The leaves are from Beautiful Blooms.  Along the bottom of my card I attached a piece of Berry Sorbet cardstock and then added two strips of glitter.  'I believe in you!' is one of the three sentiments included in the set.

For this next card I used a few different Flower Fusion sets....Flower Fusion #6 & #7 as well as the newest, Flower Fusion #12. I randomly  stamped the flowers onto Vintage Cream cardstock and then rounded the corners on both that piece and my card base. I added a few pearls, Berry Sorbet ribbon and a Dark Chocolate button.

I LOVE this sentiment! Just a little reminder that we all need every now and then...NEVER, EVER GIVE UP!!

And lastly for today is this sweet little card! I started by stamping my cardbase using Background Basics: Chevron Stripes. I had this aqua velvet trim in my stash and added that to the top and bottom of the stripes. My flower was die cut and then the solid button center was added. That was adhered to a tag created with the Tag Sale #5 die.  Lastly I added some twine and my sentiment...the last in the set.

Well my friends, that's a wrap for me today. I'm so glad you stopped by to take a peek of what I had to share...thank YOU!! Before you go be sure and stop by and say hello to these ladies....
