Boho Blossoms

My MFT order came yesterday, and my heart went pitter patter as soon as I opened the box! I've been dreaming about Boho Blossoms for a while, and now that I've held it in my inky fingers, I'm totally smitten! The stamps are just so gorgeous, and making this card was the most fun I've had stamping in a long time!

My card uses this week's Mojo Monday sketch. I started by stamping the solid flower with Purely Pomegranate ink on Pretty in Pink and cutting out. I then stamped the outline flower using the same ink and cardstock, cut out, and layered behind the solid flower using pop dots. For the third layer, I punched a Marvy Giga Scallop punch of Pretty in Pink and stamped the tiny little flower stamp in each scallop all the way around. I sponged the edges with Pretty in Pink ink for a little variation in shade, and then lightly swiped the very edges of each scallop with black chalk ink.

The pomegranate rectangle is cut with Rectangle Nestabilities dies and is stamped in Versafine Onyx black with the outline heart stamp four times, for a really cool background. This layer is matted on a black scallop rectangle. The Basic Gray and Pretty in Pink layers are embossed with the Textile embossing folder and then swiped with Plumeria VersaMagic ink and Black colorbox chalk ink. For the half circles in each corner, I cut circles using my Circle Nestability dies and then cut them in half. I stamped the tiny little flower stamp in a ring around the edges of the Pretty in Pink layer and then added the Verve Visual Heartfelt Phrases sentiment to the bottom 1/2 circle. The ribbon is from Michael's and the rhinestone brads are Creating Keepsakes. I finished off with a few Stardust Stickles accents and a tiny pink bead in the center of the focal flower. If I could pinpoint a style that defines me, this is it. I'm not sure what you would call it, but this card is totally "me". Ah.... the feeling of total stamping bliss! :)

Hopefully everyone's having a great week so far. Be sure and check out the Verve Visual blog today to see what creation Shannan has cooked up for you.
