I’m sorry I missed posting for a few days but I have a soft and creamy project to share with you today. The Splitcoaststampers Ways To Use It challenge this week was to create a Valentine project without using pink or red. I knew I wanted to make something with flowers and chose a soft aqua and cream color combination to work with.
I stamped the Morning Glory frame image on vanilla cardstock using Adirondack aqua ink and then die cut the oval double matted frame opening using Nestabilities dies. I embossed the base layer inside the frame using the Stampin’ Up! Lattice folder to add texture.
I made the flowers using three different size daisy punches. I added a pearl the the flower centers and arranged with the leafy flourishes. I would normally not use only two flowers on a project because things always look better in odd numbers. I actually created two smaller flowers to accompany the larger one but it just didn’t seem to work out so I left the second one off. You can see step by step photos of how I create my flowers by checking out my punched flower tutorial.
I really love how this turned out and think it would be the perfect frame for a wedding photo.
I have been asked often to show pictures of the punches or dies that I use to create the flowers on my project. These are EK Success Daisy Paper Shapers.

Another gorgeous card Kittie. The colors are so pretty. I’m glad you showed the punches. It helps to have a visual.

Absolutely gorgeous!!! I, too, miss you when you don’t post but I do understand what it is like to have a full time job, a house and family to care for. Thanks for showing pictures of these punches. Hope you have a relaxing and fun weekend.
I also missed seeing your posts. Thank you for another beautiful card. Thank yo also for showing the punches you use. This help so much. Thanks again!!!!
Beautiful, soft a delegate. love it.
thanks for showing your punches. I helps to know what to look for when you shop, to work on making simular cards. try anyway. this helps us visual learners. thanks for sharing, have a good day. hugs
the colors are so beautiful on this design-always enjoy your flowers and collages.
Lovely card, as always!! Since you answered a request about showing the punches, I hope I may ask another question. Rather than seeing the punches, I’d like to know the sizes of the flower they punch. I don’t know if all of your cards are A2 or if you make larger cards. I’ve wondered all along just how large or small your flowers really are.
Gorgeous framing, love the oval inside the rectangle, beautiful flowers as always!
Very elegant and beautiful!
That is just so beautiful – just love it
LOVE all of your cards!! THANK YOU for
not only sharing BUT also adding pics
of the punches!!!
