Festive Blooms with Concord & 9th
Morning all!
I'm back with a project I've been looking forward to making for a while.
The Festive Blooms die and stamp combo flew out of stock when it first arrived in store, and restocks are now available again!
So for the first outing of the wintry counterpart to the original Primrose Garden release, I went for some non-traditional colours that I've been enjoying this year for poinsettias in particular.
And as always when using these sets for the first time, I used the helpful layering guide included with the packaging and the stitched die as a template for where to place everything.
It takes a lot of the guesswork out, which I appreciate!
I used the following cardstock from Concord & 9th to build each layer:
-
Mushroom
-
Rainforest (overlaid with vellum)
-
Juniper, Hazelnut, and Champagne
-
Evergreen
-
Off-white ivory from my stash and gold
-
Nectar and Espresso
-
Eucalyptus
Once all the blooms were stuck down, I cut the banner from Eucalyptus cardstock and heat embossed one of the sentiments from the stamp set in an off-white embossing powder.
I was extremely tempted to go in with some splatters of gold, but resisted on this occasion.
The cream cardstock I used for my card base has some flecks of colour through it already, so that nicely completed the look.
Until next time, happy crafting!
