vintage floral

I just love how both of these turned out, particularly the first one and oh so easy!

I stamped the Inspired by Nature stamp in Pear Pizazz, wiping off the flowers and inking the tops with Peach Parfait. Then folded/cut the flowers and adhered them just under the flower head. You could use punch flowers if you like. Ran it through my big shot in the vintage wallpaper folder and distressed the edges and Voila!

The second card was inspired by Andrea Walford's(-so talented) watercoloured flower, you can see her's here.

Happy Crafting!

Folder fun

Card recipe 1:

C/S: Peach parfait, riding hood red, pink pirouette, & whisper white

Card recipe 2:

I love the colour contrasts on these cards. One the first one I just swiped my inkpad over the folder before embossing, the second one after embossing direct to paper. Deliberately not covering consistently. I inked the tree first then dabbed the stars on the tree with shimmer paint-from the lid ;) before stamping. Doesn't it look pretty.

Decided it was time to start using my stash of ribbon more too..
