Beth's Paper Cuts: Birthday Blossoms

birthday blossoms ~ a bit sketchy

I really like the sketched look of the Birthday blossoms stamp set. Maybe because I like to draw. I decided to use some kraft paper for this card because I really like to draw on kraft paper so I thought this might be a fun idea with this stamp. For a little pop of pattern I used some diagonal stripes from the Timeless Type newsprint paper collection, I LOVE that paper and I was very happy it carried over into the new catalog.

I cut the main image panel smaller than the images so that the flowers can go over the cut line. I like the way this turned out but I think next time I will make the flowers hang over even more.

The flowers on the bottom go over the page as well.

I love the sketchy look of the new Birthday Blossoms stamp set. I bought it, and some how didn't even realize that it worked with the pansy punch, so that was a bonus. Don't know how I didn't realize that when I looked at the catalog as it shows the punch outline behind it. As I was making the card I though, "huh, I wonder if this works with the pansy punch?" Silly me. At least it was a pleasant surprise and not a bad surprise :)

Another new product I used on this card is the new Updated Essentials Paper Piercing Pack. I really like the look of paper piercing, and so this new template pack made it onto my first order.
