I'm making a determined effort to use some of my neglected SU! sets. It has been a long time since I've used my Fresh Cuts set so I pulled that out for this card. I started with a Rose Red A6 card base and an embossed Pear Pizzazz panel. Before gluing the Pear panel, I attached the black grosgrain ribbon. The embossing folder is on loan to me from my friend Jan. I really like it but I will use it a couple more times before deciding if I have to buy it too! For the image panel, I stamped the background stamp from the set in Pear ink after stamping off once and cut out the oval shape. I then stamped the foliage stamp repeatedly round the oval using Old Olive ink, added the sentiment in black ink and matted the white oval on black and Rose Red ovals. I then inked the flowers with Regal Rose ink, rock and rolled in Rose Red ink, cut them out, added a bit of shaping and glued them to the oval. I then placed black gems in each flower centre.
I made a circle element for the envelope flap and stamped an inside panel. I stamped the foliage stamp repeatedly around the panel, re-inking after two stampings. I haven't used the oblong shadow stamp in years but I thought it would work well to highlight a sentiment. I stamped the two flowers on the right direct to the panel but the flower placed over the shadow stamped rectangle is cut out. I placed black brads in the centre of these flowers before gluing the white panel inside the card.
