A peek at "Fitting Florets"

 Happy Wednesday!

I'm so glad I can get back into working on my own card creation after a busy two weeks of preparing for other events.

This week I'm joining in with TGIF Challenges #390 with a Sketch Challenge!

I chose to use a Collection that has not yet been released to the public, called the Fitting Florets Collection. This collection will soon be available for purchase beginning Tuesday, November 1st. These are an early release collection of products from the January 2023 Mini Catalog. 

The card I created is flowery and elegant with the soft combination of colors that are included in the Designer Series Paper (DSP): 

It was hard for me just to focus on one design in the DSP since they're all so beautiful! However, I did use both sides of this DSP. While playing with the sketch, I chose to turn it 90degrees (clockwise) then add a few flowers and leaves to represent the scalloped edge in the sketch. I'm happy with the turnout, how about you?!

Card-making Tips:

• Cut the background piece of DSP to 4-1/8"x5-3/8". Use the plaid design from the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks to add a subtle touch of Soft Succulent ink to the DSP with a blending brush. Also add some splatters of white ink, randomly on the DSP.
• Mat the finished piece of DSP onto a Basic White piece of CS that measures 4-3/16" x 5-7/16".
• The flowery side of the DSP measures 3" x 4" and is mounted with dimensionals towards the top middle of the card front. This is so that the leaf pieces can slide under the left side of the DSP.
• Stamp the leaf images using Balmy Blue ink onto Basic White cardstock and also Balmy Blue cardstock then cut out with the coordinating dies. 
• Stamp the other "leaf" images using Blushing Bride ink onto Basic White cardstock and Blushing Bridge cardstock then cut out with coordinating dies.
• The oval frame was cut from vellum, the flowery DSP, and Basic White cardstock.
• Use some Soft Succulent ink and a blending brush to add some ink to the oval frame that was cut from Basic White cardstock.
• The sentiment was stamped onto the vellum with Versamark ink then heat embossed with gold embossing powder.
• The finishing touch on the card are the embellishments: Gold Adhesive Backed Swirls.
