This card is a bit of a departure for me - all that empty space scared me for a while but now I'm used to it. I've made a bunch of these 12cm square cards for a friend.
The flower comes from a hugely versatile stamp set called Stipple Celebrations which you can earn free if you hold a qualifying workshop. It features 14 stamps (the flower is one of the largest) and includes flowers, a balloon, a seashell, snowflake, bugs, baby rattle... it's one of those really useful "all occasion sets". I punched it out and mounted it on the gorgeous Scallop Punch. You know, I scoffed at the Scallop Circle punch when first introduced... but U-turns are becoming a bit of a habit of mine.
I love these colours together - once again inspired by the Cutie Pie range of Designer Series Paper.
Stamps: Stipple Celebrations (p19), Sincere Salutations (p61).
Cardstock: So Saffron, Rose Red, Certainly Celery, Whisper White.
Paper: Cutie Pie (p73).
Ink: Rose Red.
Accessories: 1 1/4" circle punch (p80), 1 3/8" circle punch (p80), Scallop Circle punch (p80), 5/8" grosgrain ribbon - Certainly Celery (p86).
