Phoenix Inspirations

Following on from my Spotlight post yesterday I have a card to show you using the Perennial Essence DSP - take a look Calypso Coral is a perfect match for this paper and my Floral Essence flowers were stamped with it and then fussy cut to create a cluster. The Paper formed the background along with the Calypso Coral card stock. Also used was the Leaf Punch and Mossy Meadow ink and although this looks fairly OK for the front of the card - just take a look inside More flowers and leaves were made and mounted on to pop-out panels to create this wow card. It folds flat when the card is closed so it's really good for posting. Check out the whole Perennial Essence Suite in the catalogue in my side bar - there's 10% off some of the bundles. Hope you enjoyed today's card - see you soon - J xx

I really loved my black and white Floral Essence card but I also wanted to do one in colour. The colour I chose were pink and silver - take a look The flowers were stamped in Blushing Bride and Flirty Flamingo. The leaves were stamped and embossed with silver embossing powder. The lighter flower and the foliage was glued onto the card base with Tombow which is a wet glue while the remaining two flowers were added with Dimensionals.
