This card uses two of my favorite new items in Stampin' Up!'s 2011-2012 Idea Book and Catalog, the Bold Blossoms stamp set and the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch. The card is Wild Wasabi, the embossed dots are on Delightful Daffodil. The ribbon and border piece are Concord Grape. The flowers are Concord Grape and More Mustard (center), Tempting Turquoise and Pretty in PInk (left) and Bashful Blue and Melon Mambo (right). The center of the flowers uses one of the Flower Shaped Brads in various colors. The "grass" is simply a strip that I cut into at various angles and cut some out altogether, to create that grassy look. I used Stampin' Dimensionals on almost all the layers! For more detailed instructions, contact me.
Let me tell you a little about the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch. This is one of two Triple Layer Punches that Stampin' Up! premiered this summer. I have to tell you that I was a little leery, even though I trust the company's judgment, I just wasn't sure about cutting 3 different images from one punch! I"m SO GLAD I ordered it! You just flip a little button on the front and you get the three images you see here, the one on top of each flower, and the 2 sizes of the "back" of the flower. In addition, when you cut the two smaller images, you get an outline of the difference in the top and bottom pieces.
I'm a visual person and needed to "see" the flowers before I choose colors, so I punched flowers from several colors of card stock scraps to give me colors to choose from. I'm sure I'll use the "extras" on various projects in the future! The hardest part of this card was choosing "only 3" flower combinations!
Here's the inside: I love this little butterfly from the set!
