Happy Monday! We’re past the midpoint of April and I need to think Spring. We had snow here in Colorado last week (over 6″!) and we’re suppose to get more tonight! Sheesh! I’m ready for warm weather. Since flowers are definitely a sign of Spring I thought I’d find a floral card to copy for Make It Mine Monday.
I received this lovely card in a swap from Tina Barela. It was made using the Art Gallery stamp set from Stampin’ Up!’s January – June Mini Catalog. This stamp set is part of the Fine Art Floral Suite of products that can be found on pages 32-33 of the Mini Catalog. So many fun products! The sentiment and the die to cut it out are part of the suite. Tina used Flirty Flamingo and Mossy Meadow as the colors on her card.
The first reason that this card caught my eye to CASE was that it was PINK! When the dominate color of the card is my favorite color of course it’s going to catch my eye! I also liked that Tina used two different embossing folders on her card. It may be hard to see but she used the Subtle Embossing Folder on the large piece of Basic White cardstock. This embossing folder is retiring on May 3rd so if you love it as much as I do you may want to get one fast!
As you can see I didn’t change too much on Tina’s card. I kept pink the main color but instead of using Flirty Flamingo like Tina did I used the brand new 2021-2023 In-Color Polished Pink! I think it’s my new favorite Stampin’ Up! color!
I also used the strip of pink embossed with one of the Greenery Mini Embossing Folders. I have to admit I wanted to add the Subtle Embossing Folder to the Basic White background of my card like Tina’s but unfortunately I didn’t remember until the card was put together….oh, well….
I did add a few more layers to my card. You know that I can never seem to have enough layers on a card. Ha!
Soft Succulent is the gorgeous green that you’re seeing on my card. It too is one of the new In-Colors. It’s very similar to Mint Macaron but with a little more gray to it. And of course my card wouldn’t be complete with ribbon….Polished Pink Open Weave Ribbon to be precise. Oooo….SO pretty!
It’s so fun (and easy!) to get inspiration from someone else’s project. Have you tried it lately? If not, go for it! Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
