Funky Flower Card


I'm still hooked on that Urban Oasis DSP and still into the funky and fun look. This is the card that my stamping club did last night for their project. It was pretty quick and everyone's looked great when they were done.


I used Basic Black card stock as the base and stamped the Polka Dot background on the top half with Versamark and embossed with clear powder. In case you are looking for this versatile background stamp in the current catalog, you won't find it. It is on the dormant list, meaning it is still available but not shown in the catalog. The item number is 109276 and it's $17.95.


Anyway... after that I put the verse on the Kiwi Kiss patterned paper... this photo actually shows the card done with a rub-on from the "A Perfect Day" rub-on set. Last night I had everyone stamp "It's your day... ENJOY" from the On Your Birthday set since I didn't have enough rub-ons to go around. After attaching that 2 1/4" piece to the card, I pierced along the top edge and tied the black gingham ribbon around the card. I cut the flower using the Sizzix die "Flower Layers" (113458 - $15.95, page 199 of the catalog). I used the three biggest layers and cut the largest from Kiwi Kiss card stock, the middle from the Kiwi Kiss DSP, and the smallest from the card stock. Then the important part... scrunch them all up and then flatten them out to give them texture. Layer the three layers, attach a black button with a glue dot, and thread some green floss through to dress the button up. That's it!


Happy Stamping!
