One of the FREE gifts from Fun Stampers Journey to each coach in June at convention was the Cottage Bouquet stamp set. I am in love with this set. There are so many beautiful papercrafting project possibilities using this dynamic set of florals not to mention the cute bow and sentiments – did I mention we received the coordinating dies FREE too!

When I saw the Freshly Made Sketch #345, I knew this set would make the perfect card.

Freshly Made Sketches are clean and simple cards. Making sure I kept to this design style, I chose FSJ Whip Cream cardstock for the base. I pulled out one of the stitched designed frames from the Pocket Cuts Die set and cut the initial rectangle. To create a frame, I cut the center of the rectangle out with one of the Journey Rectangles dies using Huckleberry Fusion cardstock. The frame mat is stamped in Pretty Amethyst with the Flannel Life stamp background stamp. I wanted the “amazing” sentiment to create a pop of color and Lavender Fusion cardstock was just the right touch of color to create this affect. The “amazing” die came with a set of dies included when I ordered my Amaze machine. The flowers are stamped on Whip Cream with Black Fusion ink and colored with Pretty Amethyst and Electric Lime ink by dabbing color onto the petals with the small dowel sponge set. The stems are colored with a Color Burst Pencil. I accented the card with Cosmic Grape silk, Rainbow Drops and a triple bow created from our Whip Cream twine.

A simple but amazing floral card:

This past week, one of my good friend’s daughter had emergency surgery and had to stay in the hospital for about 4-5 days. I met up with my co-colorist, Cheyenne Luken, and we wanted to stamp and color this cute fox holding a basket of flowers with our Spectrum Noir markers. After choosing the printed papers for the mats, cutting them out, and adding a sentiment. I thought this would be the perfect card to give someone on the mend.

Here is the card with the color choices following:
