ESAD Annual Catalogue Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the ESAD Annual Catalogue Blog Hop. We're so excited to share our creations with you and we're certain that you will find great tips and inspiration. 

As with any new catalogue I make my wish list by looking over the catalogue a number of times before I do an order, (it's amazing how many things you don't see on your first or even second look at the catalogue). My "final cut" for my first is rated from the items I list the most to the least, and the Flowers of Friendship Bundle was right up there, a particular sample creation really took my eye, and today that sample is the inspiration of my card.

My rainbow consists of Flirty Flamingo, Fresh Freesia, Balmy Blue, Pool Party, So Saffron & Pale Papaya, with So Succulent leaves, I've used both Light & Dark Stampin' Blends to colour each element.

I traced a light circled onto the embossed layer to assist with laying out the flowers, then filled gaps with leaves. I used both Mini Dimensionals and Glue Dots to adhere the elements once I was happy with placement.

I also used the new Banner Pick a Punch with the sentiment, then to finish the flowers with a touch of bling I added Elegant Faceted Gems - I really like the checkered finish on these gems, just perfect for these flowers. 

TIP: a must when creating this card is to line up your stamped images for punching - not only is it a great time saver, you also don't waste cardstock.
