I used the Stampin’ Up! Forever Blossoms set bundle to create a wedding card for the Sunday Stamps color challenge this week.

Here are the colors for Sunday Stamps SSC223.  Be sure to stop by the challenge blog to play along too!

The theme for my card was inspired by As You See It Challenge #217.

I started by embossing a panel of Very Vanilla card stock with the Stone 3D Embossing Folder (Sale-a-bration exclusive) and the 3D Embossing Folder Plate.  I adhered the embossed panel to another panel of Very Vanilla card stock and then to a Thick Very Vanilla card base with SNAIL.

I cut an Eiffel Tower from Very Vanilla card stock with one of the Parisian Dies and then used a Sponge Brayer and Seaside Spray ink to ink the die cut.  I adhered the die cut tower to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Then I stamped the flower images from the Forever Blossoms stamp set in Basic Gray ink on a panel of Very Vanilla card stock.  I colored the flowers with Light and Dark Petal Pink, Light Flirty Flamingo and Light and Dark Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers.

I cut the flower images out with the coordinating Cherry Blossoms Dies and adhered them with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front.  I stamped the sentiment from the Forever Blossoms stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink on a panel of Very Vanilla card stock and then cut it out with one of the Painted Labels Dies.  I adhered the die cut sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensionals and then added three Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to finish the card front.

I stamped the sentiment from the Forever Blossoms stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink and the flowers in Petal Pink ink (stamped off once) on a panel of Very Vanilla card stock.  I adhered the stamped panel to a panel of Petal Pink card stock and then to the inside of the card base with SNAIL.

You can see a list of supplies used to create this card, including the card stock cuts, at the very bottom of this blog post.

I’m trying something new to see if you like it and find it helpful.  I’ve created a printable PDF with written instructions and a list of products used to create this card.  You can download, print and/or save it by clicking this image:
