I know I have probably made a few too many posts with Wonderful Romance but we tried a different style with it when I had some members of my downline here to stamp this past Saturday and I thought you might like to see it's versatility - or maybe even try this out with another set. First of all I need to point out that I was inspired by a card I found on Pinterest. It was made by Yana Smakula and the link goes to her Instagram account. I did not find it in the 1st 40 or so pages but I trust that it is there somewhere. It is important to me that I share my sources of inspiration with you. Anyway here's what I did:
- White emboss the floral bouquet from Wonderful Romance a few times on the top part of a 1/4 sheet Basic Black cardstock and a few more times near the bottom.
- Trim off about 1 - 1 1/4" from one side - look to see if it would make a difference depending on the arrangement of the images you embossed. Add a 5 1/2" strip of Lemon Lime Twist card stock underneath the right edge and mount onto a Whisper White card base.
- White emboss 2 -3 more bouquets on Lemon Lime Twist and cut out with the matching die. Cut a leaflet from the die set too. I suggested everyone emboss three bouquets and cut as many extra embellishments as they could fit on the paper - then they had an extra if one didn't turn as well or they would have an extra pieces to take home.
- Emboss a greeting on a 1 - 1/4" x 5 1/2" Basic Black Strip and trim to 4 1/4" to get the placement that looks best to your eye.
- Adhere the leaflet over this strip on the left side.
- Tie 20" piece of Lemon Lime Twist Ombre ribbon around the card, somewhat covering the end of the leaflet stem.
- Optional - add a basic white pearl somewhere on your greeting.
