This Beautiful Gallery White Bouquet Card is made with one of the new and very interesting designer series papers in the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. You can’t even imagine all of the different designs on those papers in the Beautiful Gallery 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. A lot, maybe most of these papers would be beautiful framed for home decor (hence the name, “Beautiful Gallery”!) so you can use these for framing, cut the papers down for cards and projects, or even use them for scrapbooking. These papers feature exclusive designs by in-house Stampin’ Up! artists. That makes them even more special.
To make this card, I did have to cut down a 6″ x 6″ beautiful paper! However, I am very happy with the card so it’s fine! Why do we hate to use our designer papers so much! I remember someone years ago saying she bought three packs of every designer paper….one to use, one in case she needed more, and one to keep!
The card base is Mossy Meadow, and I added a layer of Basic Beige. I have barely used that Basic Beige color but it goes well on this card as the flowers are not a pure or solid white. I think having the extra layer of Basic Beige makes the flowers stand out more. For the greeting I used one in the Memorable Blooms Stamp Set and stamped it with Mossy Meadow Ink on a scrap of Basic Beige. It is diecut with one of the Textured Notes Dies. I really like these dies! You will find them in the Online Exclusives.
For some embellishment, I made a little “nest” of Gold Twisted Thread and adhered it to the back of the greeting. The gold thread is one of the Last Chance products but isn’t discounted. Then the greeting is popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals. I also added a few Iridescent Foil Gems, which have been one of my favorite gems to use since they came out!
