Floral Fusion Poetry


Let me first start by saying - I LOVE THIS CARD!

So much so that I made two versions.


Today I was inspired by a card by another Stampin' Up Demonstrator, Mary Fish, 
whose card I received in my email in-box.   
She used the new Secret Garden Bundle
from the new Spring Catalog, for the main images on her card. 
Unfortunately, my Bundle has not arrived yet so I had to improvise.  
Nothing wrong with that , right?
It's good to have to think on your own two feet every now and then!
I did use her card template and color layout.
  
The main card is Midnight Muse.  
The Designer Papers are all from the new little pack Print Poetry from the Spring Catalog.  
I must admit that, at first glance, I wasn't sure I was happy with the prints in this little pack.  
But, boy, was I ever wrong!  
This is now the third card I have made with paper from this pack 
and I have loved every one of them!  
I just needed to take them out and look at each one 
by itself, in bits and pieces, and with it's coordinating card stocks!  


 I decided to go with flowers cut with the Floral Fusion Sizzix Die
I used Midnight Muse and Summer Starfruit card stock for my flowers.  

I love these cute little flowers.  
I have not used them very much but I can see making a lot more projects with them in the future!

The Gumball Green leaves coordinate with the Gumball Green card stock frame 
and the Gumball Green that appears in the floral pattern from Print Poetry.

My Butterfly was punched from a coordinating stripe pattern - also from Print Poetry
using my Elegant Butterfly Punch.  A row of Basic Pearls finishes it off with style.  

The card ties together with a length of Summer Starfruit Stitched Satin Ribbon.  
This ribbon is so soft and supple to use!  I just love it!  

I hope you have enjoyed today's card and that I have inspired you to get stampin' !
