These 2 cards feature the Forever Blossoms Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!.




The bottom mat for this card was cut from Highland Heather CS, the top mat was cut from Whisper White CS.   I used Post-It Tape to mask the edges of the Whisper White CS piece leaving a open rectangle space in the middle.  I used Blender Brushes to color inside the rectangle using Granny Apple Green and Highland Heather Inks.  I stamped the Blossom Stamp from the featured set in the center of the mat using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.  The sentiment is from the Label Me Bold Stamp Set and was stamped in the corner using Gorgeous Grape Ink.  I used a Rectangle Die to cut out the center of the piece.  The outside piece was popped up with Dimensionals, the inside piece was glued back into the center of Highland Heather CS piece using Tombow Glue.  I added some Gold Metallic Pearls to the center of the flowers.




The bottom mat for this 2nd card was cut from Sweet Sugarplum CS, the next mat was cut from Crumb Cake CS using the Rectangle Stitched Dies, the top mat was cut from Sweet Sugarplum CS using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.  The blossom stamp from the featured stamp set was stamped on the top mat using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored with the Rococo Rose and Old Olive Stampin' Blends Sets.  Once the ink was dry I ran this piece through the Subtle Embossing Folder.
The 3 layers were glued together with Tombow Glue, I wrapped a piece of Rococo Rose Scalloped Linen Ribbon around the 3 pieces.  The sentiment is from the featured set and was stamped on a scrap of Whisper White CS, cut out with a die from the Stitched Label Dies and glued to the ribbon.  I added a couple of Enamel Shapes to the card, as shown, and added some dots to the center of the flowers using a White Chalk Marker.
