July SU Cards using Flower Patch

July's featured SU stamp set is Flower Patch --located on page 76----134207---$26.00
19 photopoloymer stamps and has coordinating Flower Fair Framelit Dies page 172.
 This card uses Flowre Patch stamp set for the top and bubble wrap for the bottom.  Fun to make.
This cards add a little fun to the opening.  You can pick and choose which flowers you want to go where along the edge and then just cut around them.  Not even too much fussy cutting since you're leaving a white border around them.

With this card I used Bermuda Bay ink and paper for the mat.  I inked up the stamps, stamped off and then stamped onto the mat to make an interesting background.

I embossed the white with a stripe embossing folder.  I added a strip of  Coastal Cabana which I also embossed with a polka dot folder.  I stamped one of the flowers 4 times and cut out for different layers.  I put those together with 3D tape and added a peal center.  I also added white ribbon where the two colors meet.

I run the grey mat through the Big Shot with the polka dot embossing folder.  I added a 1" strip of Garden Green paper ( which I had added some green ribbon to with glue dots) and a 1 1/2" strip of red. I also added a green bow.  I stamped the long and short leaf stamp onto a 3" scalloped circle. Using glue dots, I added flowers which I stamped in Real Red and cut out.  I added pearls to the flower centers and a sentiment onto white and punched out with a scalloped oval punch.

For this card I used some of the Flower Patch stamps and dies.
Inks:  Old Olive, Strawberry Slush, Tempting turquoise, and Pacific Point
I added some gems and a fancy birthday sentiment.

I used Marina Mist for for the flowers and a green marker for the stems.
The mat is 5" X 3 3/4" and 3 D taped onto base card.


Black mat is 5 1/2" X 4 1/4"
White mat is 5 1/4" X 4"
I cut black and white pattern paper into 1/2" strips and attached at an angle.
I used the Flower Patch stamps and dies to make the flowers and leaves.
I used Strawberry Slush, Cherry Cobbler, Crushed Curry, Delightful Dijon, and black inks.



With this card I used Real Red ink and Night of Navy.  Makes a "fireworks" bkgd.  The little boy I found on Google.
