Hi everyone, it's Natalia here today – back with inspiration for another ever-popular suite of products from The Greetery.
Released back in October, I've been wanting to properly play with these supplies since then - but they keep flying out!
Not to fear, another round of Rosemal Reflections restocks are due to come in shortly, with more Capsule restocks following later in the month.
Rosemal Reflections was originally a Christmas release, but I love it for its versatility. It works for any season and for many occasions. A win-win in my book!
Plus it reminds me of the lovely Polish folk prints of my childhood, which often featured on my grandma's hand-embroidered tablecloths.
For today's outing I've gone with a blue floral palette against soft neutrals, using ivory cardstock instead of white to soften the look further.
My first step was to print out the wonderful guide Betsy created and to refresh my memory by watching this video. It really does help with lining everything up when using the Capsule Basics dies - especially if you remember to pencil in the reference marks!
So like the video, I stamped all the steps for the frame and inside florals and then cut out the florals with the matching dies before running the frame and floral elements through the Rosemal Reflections embossing folder.
I also embossed the pink centre capsule so that it would provide some dimension behind the floral elements and make them pop more.
My card is mounted on the large scallop from the Capsule Basics die set, which I also embossed with the Capsule Basics embossing folder.
To create a cardbase for this card, I took a 5x7 white card blank and used the largest Capsule die to cut a shaped cardbase, retaining the original hinge of the card blank. I also sandwiched my die and card blank in a folded sheet of scrap A4 paper when it went through my machine to keep the card blank smooth on the front and back. This way, no fuzzy bits were transferred from my cutting plates.
Finally, I stamped the banner from the Rosemal Reflections stamp set on ivory cardstock, added a sentiment from the Rosemal Reflections Sentiments stamp set, and cut it out with the banner die in the Rosemal Reflections die set.
Until next time, happy crafting!
