The Stampin’ Fancy Friday Design Team is a group of past and continuing Artisans, bringing our followers a fancy monthly challenge for inspiration. This month it’s a “Blooming Florals” challenge.

I began with a Cloud Cover card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. This was layered with Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″. Before gluing to the card base, I added a 1″ by 5 1/4″ strip of Lovely Blossoms Designer Paper to the left side. Then, I used a Petals Of Beauty Die to cut the branch of leaves from Lovely Blossoms Designer Paper; once from an Old Olive pattern, and once from a Cloud Cover pattern. After gluing the Old Olive branch to the card front, I used the Cloud Cover “cut-outs” to fill in the leaves. This paper piecing technique is really fun, and the Take Your Pick Tool makes it much easier.

Next, I used a Petal Of Beauty Die to cut three flowers from Thick Basic White Cardstock. The stamens were cut with a Simply Beautiful Die from Lovely Patterns Designer Paper in a Secret Sea pattern. After gluing the stamens to the flowers, I attached them with Mini Dimensionals.

The sentiment, “you help me grow,” is from the Help Me Grow Stamp Set. I stamped it in Secret Sea Ink, and my card was complete.
