The stamp set Painted Petals appears overwhelming for my customers. But as they have played with it, it has become easy to produce a beautiful scene. Here I used Melon Mambo and Old Olive. I stamped the larger flower full strength once and then stamped again without re-inking. The smaller flowers I stamped off before stamping them. It makes it look like I used different pink colors. But it was only one. I masked the flowers slightly with a scrap paper when I was doing the stems and leaves.
To make the Melon Mambo frame I used two sizes of the square framelits. I cut both the white card stock and the Melon Mambo card stock using the largest of the two sizes I chose. Then I took the next size smaller and cut that out of the middle of the Melon Mambo one to give me the frame. Then I added the Melon Mambo ribbon across the bottom of the frame (after I had the flowers adhered to the frame). I used Stampin' Up dimensionals on the framed art piece and put it on the front of the white card. Then I added the Melon Mambo bow. I put a glue dot on each of the bow loops. I have found that to help keep my bows on better. When I put it on the knot, sometimes it came off too easily. So little tip for you.
On the word piece I had a smudge that was in the top corner so I fixed it by adding a flower. I think that made it even better. So mistakes can produce amazing results! I did not take a picture of the inside but I always like to finish the card for my customers. So I added more flowers to the lower right side. This is a card I think you would write something special to someone.
I hope you like my version of this AMAZING stamp set. If you would like to come to my 4 cards for $10 class in February contact me. The dates are the 2nd Saturday and 4th Wednesday of each month. Thanks for stopping by and viewing. I appreciate comments. Janice
