The Paper Players#264 {Kind Word Florals}


Today I am playing along with the lovely, Claire over at The Paper Players. I absolutely loved her amazing sketch and I decided I wanted to try using the new Avery Elle Christmas Florals set in a non-holiday way! So I made a thank you card using Fall colours.


I stamped all the flowers in different colours: Hello Honey, Cajun Craze, Tangelo Twist and Crisp Cantaloupe. Then I stamped the leaves in Sage Shadow. (all inks are SU!). Then I cut them out with the die set that matches the stamps and arranged them on the card to be the "circle" element on the card. The sentiment comes from Verve Stamps and is one of my favourites! I stamped it in Cajun Craze as well. The big square in the background is hard to see but it is Whisper White paper, embossed with the diagonal embossing folder. I used a strip of brown designer paper to "ground" the card. See my new little pumpkin? Found it at M's and for only a couple of dollars! I am so excited to make Fall cards!
