This is the one of the last of the swaps that I did for the Occasions Mini. This set uses Friendly Flowers.
The largest stamp in this set is a flower that runs about three inches across. It dominates the entire front of the card if your card is standard size.
I was having a hard time deciding what to do, so it dawned on me to cut the flower down the center and use it more as an embellishment instead of a focal point. So, this is what I came up with.
Here's the recipe for this card:
Stamps: Friendly Flowers
Cardstock: Whisper White, Soft Sky, Old Olive
Ink: Soft Sky, Old Olive
Designer Series Paper: Fall Flowers
Ribbon: Soft Sky Double Stitched Grosgrain
Accessories: Silver Brad, Pop Dot
Tools: Distresser Tool, Scallop Circle Punch, Circle Punch, Stamp-a-ma-jig
