More Bunch of Blossoms

Hello, Crafters.

As always, the weekend flew by far too quickly! 

Yesterday we visited our friend Liz and I really pleased to say she continues to make good progress.

To create today's card I used the Bunch of Blossoms Stamp Set. I think I've only used it once or twice before but it has so many possibilities! It's a great stamp set.

I started with a card base of Whisper White Cardstock, with a layer of Dapper Denim, and a top layer of Whisper White. I adhered the top layer onto the Dapper Denim and then attached it to the base card, somewhat crookedly!

Using Old Olive Ink, I stamped the sprig of leaves stamp from the Jar of Love Stamp Set twice, towards the top of the sheet. Then I used the straight stem stamp and stamped three times because I'd origially planned to adhere just three petals that I was going to use as individual flowers. 

I stamped three petals, and then decided I needed another two so stamped them, too.
Using the Blossom Builder Punch, I punched out the petals.

To colour the petals, I started with Dapper Denim Ink on Whisper White for the outline stamp. Then, using Marina Mist Ink stamped off once, I used the all-over base stamp.
The third step was Marina Mist Ink first generation stamp. 

When I was a child I was always told "blue and green should never be seen". I could never understand why! BTW the comeback to that was "blue and green are fit for the Queen"! 

Then I decided to use the small leaf to go with my flowers and I stamped five of them. I started with the outline stamp using Always Artichoke Ink.  Then, using Old Olive Ink, stamped off once, I stamped the all-over base stamp. The third stamp was first generation Old Olive Ink. 

Using the same punch as before, I punched out the leaves. I arranged the flowers and leaves on the sprigs of leaves until I was happy with the layout. I used Dimensionals to adhere them all in place. 

Using Smokey Slate Ink, I stamped the smallest jar from the Jar of Love stamp set and cut it out - I do have the dies but I didn't want want any white edging left on the jar. 

Using Old Olive Ink, I stamped the sentiment, which is from Circle of Spring Stamp Set, in the centre of the jar. I adhered this in place using Dimensionals. 

I decided I wasn't happy with the layout of the flowers and leaves so stamped one extra petal and two extra leaves. I adhered the leaf and the petal on the left with Dimensionals but the bottom petal in the centre, I used a Glue Dot. 

The final step was to add a bow I made using the Dapper Denim Ruched Ribbon which I adhered using a Glue Dot. Then I was happy with my card! LOL!

I hope you have a great day and until tomorrow, happy crafting.
