Hi, Natalia here!
I'm not sure about you, but I'm not quite ready to give up my summer florals and warm peach tones just yet.
While the sun is still shining, those are the colours that are still speaking to me. So this was the perfect opportunity to combine them with a bouquet I had already assembled ready for a future card.
I was also very eager to use the lovely Capsule Collection Floral Borders stamps after watching Betsy's tips and tricks video here that includes a link to a very useful free alignment template.
I started out by stamping the leafy floral border on C9 Nectar cardstock, cut with the second-largest plain die in the Capsule Basics die set.
Then I mounted it on the smaller scalloped capsule die from the same set, cut from matte gold cardstock.
This combination is the perfect size for an A2 card, and the perfect frame for the Best Bouquet Details die.
To add more peachy tones and gold, I ran a panel of ivory card through with the Waffle Flower Sweet Plaid Texture die.
Added some warm ink blending with Saltwater Taffy distress ink and Lawn Fawn Apricot ink and went in with the Blue Gold pan from the Gansai Tambi Starry Colors set for some ink splatter and gold detail around the edge.
For the sentiment, I went with something simple that wouldn't cover up too much of the bouquet, and of course The Greetery's Sentiment Suite Birthday stamps and Sentiment Suite Basics dies provided the ideal solution.
Until next time, happy crafting!
