The card I am sharing today is created using two stamp sets that will soon retire, they are the Stampin’ Up! Forever Blossoms stamp set and the Very Versailles stamp set.  The Brick & Mortar Embossing Folder does not show up well on the Bloom Where You Are Planted DSP.

One of my challenges is the Crafty Gals Corner Challenge — Add A Flower

And…

My card base is Gray Granite card stock.  A panel of Basic Black card stock is used as the mat for the Bloom Where You Are Planted DSP.  On the panel of DSP I stamped the vine image from the Stampin’ Up! Very Versailles stamp set in Old Olive ink.

I stamped the cherry blossoms from the Stampin’ Up! Forever Blossoms stamp set on a piece of Blushing Bride card stock using Memento Black ink. Using a Roccoco Rose Stampin’ Blends Marker, I colored the blossoms, next I used a Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Write Marker to color the leaves and stem.  After coloring, I cropped using a die from the Cherry Blossom Dies, using the die did not crop the image as close as I would have liked so I fussy cut around it.  It is adhered to another panel of the Bloom Where You Are Planted DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, then popped over the card front.

A black knot bow is tied and popped on the blossom stem.  A Brushed Brass Butterfly is popped on the blossom petal, several Gray Granite Dots are popped around the card front.  A greeting from the Stampin’ Up! Very Versailles stamp set is stamped in Memento Black ink and cropped using a die from the Ornate Label Dies.

A panel of the Bloom Where You Are Planted DSP is stamped in Old Olive ink with the vine image from the Stampin’ Up! Very Versailles stamp set.  Sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Love & Happiness stamp set is stamped in Memento Black ink.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel from the Bloom Where You Are Planted DSP applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

If you would like to create this card all the products used are in the post instead of at the end of the post as they usually are.
