Fabulous Urban Flower

I made this card using Stampin' Up's "Urban Garden" DSP and Fabulous Flowers Stamp set. I was inspired by Gretchen Barron’s blog where she used these to make some beautiful cards.

My friend is doing the Kokoda Challenge in a few weeks time and I wanted to send her a cool card to let her know how inspiring I think she is.

Materials used (all Stampin Up unless indicated):
Stamps - Fabulous Flowers
Ink - Whisper White craft, Not Quite Navy (for sentiment and envelope)
Paper - Whisper White CS, Not Quite Navy CS, Vellum paper, Urban Garden DSP
Accessories Stampin Up metallic pencils, White gel pen (non-SU), Baja Breeze grosgrain ribbon, Diamond brad (non-SU), Dazzling Diamonds glitter, 2-way glue pen.

CPS 204 - Fabulous Flowers

Here's a card I created for the Card Positioning Systems Challenge #204 .A very basic design template but still one that can be effective. I have been wanting to give this black magic technique a go ever since I saw it on a blog. The "Fabulous Flowers" set is a retired set now but I got mine on eBay - it is a good stamp set for this technique.

Materials used:
Stamps - SU Fabulous Flowers
Ink - SU Whisper White craft ink, SU Rose Red Classic ink (for sponging edges) SU Metallic Art Pencils
Cardstock - Basic Black, Whisper White, Rose Red
Patterned paper - Sweet and Sour DSP
Accessories - sponges, misc pink taffeta ribbon
