Pretty Perennials meets Paper Blossom

 Thank you for joining me today!

This started off as an A6 card but I changed it to a DL card, as I felt it was a little cluttered as an A6. I added some score lines at the top and bottom of the card then embossed the middle section (using my bigshot pro) firstly with the scripty embossing folder, then noticed the lettering was on the wrong side, so did it again with the subtle embossing folder which worked well. The rest of the card is just straight forward stamping and die cutting.

This is another Sunday card for Sue it's getting harder to come up with idea's but I've got some new goodies coming soon so I won't have a problem for a little while.

Materials required for this card are:

Card Stock: basic white, night of navy, petal pink, rococo rose

Designer Series Paper: *paper blooms

Dies: all dressed up, perennial petals, stitched so sweetly (6)

Embossing Folders: subtle 3D

Embossing Powder: white
