Petal Palette Stamp Set & Petal Pair Embossing Folders by StampinUP

 I am SO happy that the Petal Palette Set, Petals & More Thinlits,
and Petal Pair Embossing Folders are all carried over to the new catalog!!
YAY....I love them all  : )

Color Combo for this card: 
--White, Black, Lovely Lipstick, and Old Olive


For this card, I used the same Petal Pair Embossing Folder as above.
I colored in the flowers with Watercolor Pencils.

Colors used here:
Daffodil Delight, Garden Green, Real Red, Black, White


Notice the Thank You sentiment on both cards are placed a little differently.
I used the words from the Petal Palette Set but did not want them straight across.
By simply using a black marker & doing each word separately, I was able to
place the "thank" and the "you" where I wanted......
(yes, I am that good!!) LOL  

I appreciate you blogging by-- Lori

"Nature's Roots" Framelit Dies from StampinUP Coming Soon!!

 I've always loved cards that are layers of white & that
is exactly what I did with this card sample today!

I used thick white card stock for the card base.
There is one layer that I embossed using the Petal Burst folder.
Before embossing though I cut out a circle w/ the Layering Circles Dies.

To make the white pcs. and parts I used the following StampinUP Items:
--Nature's Roots Framelits
--Petals & More Thinlits
--Leaf Punch

I used 5 Basic Jewels (Pearls) and bingo-bango that was it!!
(Oh, & I used Gray Granite Ink for the sentiment from Rooted In Nature)

If you have any questions and/or comments, I would love to hear from you!!
Thanks for looking.....Lori Helvick
