Betsy’s Blossoms Thinking of You Card

Betsy's Blossoms

Although I have not used Stampin’ Up!’s Betsy’s Blossoms Stamp Set but a few times, it is one of my favorite stamp sets.  Betsy’s Blossoms is featured on my card share for you today.

I love shades of brown and blue together, which was the driving force for selecting the colors for this card.  I used Stampin’ Up!’s Early Express Card Stock and ink for the brown, and the Pool Party Card Stock, embossing powder, and ribbon for the blue.  I know that Pool Party is not an absolute blue, but it is close enough that I think it looks great with the Early Expresso.  Betsy's Blossoms

What do you think about my Pool Party ribbon flower?  I like the way it turned out.  I simply folded the ribbon one loop over another one for eight loops, inserted a brad, and spread the ribbon loops to form a circle. 

As you can see, I used two brads on the ribbon flower, both of which are retired.  The large brad is a Designer Builder Brad and the brad on top of the Designer Builder Brade is an Everyday Enchantment Brad.  I removed the legs from this brad and attached it with hot wax.

I used Pool Party card stock on the inside of the card.  I stamped with Early Expresso Classic Ink on the card stock the bird and floral images from Betsy’s Blossom.

 If you look closely at the above picture you can see the Glimmer Mist that I sprayed on the embossed card stock.
