Pair of Pretty Petals cards

I'm back tonight with a quick post and more "clearing out the old." Here are two cards (from last summer!) featuring one of my favorite Designer Series Paper (DSP) packs, Pretty Petals.

Supplies all Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted):
Paper: Thick Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Calypso Coral card stock; Pretty Petals DSP Stack
Accessories: Punches: Starburst, Pansy, Petite Petals, 1-1/2" circle, 2" circle, 2-1/2" circle; metallic gold thread; clear faceted gems; gold Wink of Stella glitter brush pen; champagne sequins (The Makery); Art Glitter Glue (Art Institute Glitter)

I really like the layout of this card (although if you tilt your head and squint your eyes, it looks like an out-of-proportion Mickey Mouse). I used lots of different circles and dots in the layers, paper and even the embellishments. The touches of gold in the splattered background and loops of thread add a little shine.

Supplies (all Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted):
Paper: Thick Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Calypso Coral card stock; Pretty Petals DSP Stack
Accessories: Very Vanilla taffeta ribbon, delicate white doily, Bitty Butterfly punch, pearls, green sequins (Craft Medley  - Citrus assortment), Dimensionals

This layout is a great way to use DSP. It would be fun to make a whole set of these cards with each one using a different combination of coordinating patterns. For this card, I added a small cluster of embellishments in the lower right corner to create a focal area.

Thanks for stopping by!
