I used the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs Bundle along with the Damasks Designs 3D Embossing Folder, Beautiful Gallery 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Up! Gallery Blooms Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

This is our theme this week. I did Dry and Heat Embossing on my card.

Using the Beautiful Motifs Dies, cut 2 flowers from a panel of Old Olive, 2 flowers from a panel of Calypso Coral and the leaf die from a panel of Mossy Meadow. Cut the Calypso Coral flowers off the stems and adhere them to the Old Olive stems over the flowers. Create a small bouquet and adhere it just under the bow. On a panel of Basic Beige, stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs Photopolymer Stamp set in Versamarik Ink. Sprinkle the sentiment with Copper Embossing Powder and set it with the Heat Tool. Cut the sentiment out using the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch. Cut a panel of Calypso Coral using the 1 7/8″ Circle Punch. Adhere the sentiment to the Calypso Coral mat then adhere it to the card front, over the ribbon with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a Pressed Flowers Motifs to the sentiment.
