My best friend Julia has some serious tooth pain right now. Obviously a card won’t fix it, but I want to send her one anyway. I was playing with the Stampin’ Up! Painted Petals set and came up with the following. Eventually.

This card was hard. For no good reason other than sometimes they are. I managed to put the stalks too close together. Then I stamped the sentiment badly so that there was an extra line around it. Then it was wonky. A lot. It was one of those days. Eventually on the fourth try I had to give in. But I re-made it today and it went fine. Sometimes life is like that!

I stamped the stalks from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Petals set in pear pizzazz adding the flowers in so saffron for each trio and masking out a few for later.  I then added the missing flowers in perfect plum. After cutting out the very vanilla piece and matting it on perfect plum, I used the sentiment from A Dozen Thoughts which I stamped in versamark and then sprinkled on the clear embossing powder. After using the heat tool, this it’s a very simple matter of constructing the card but I like how simple and effective it is. I can definitely see this in a number of different colours. And I’m sure that you will too!
