Special Request - Congratulations Card

 Good morning, friends!  I am crazy excited to share this card with you.  I had a request to make a Congrats on Your New Home card.  I had to wrack my brain to come up with something just right, and finally decided to use some new stamps and dies from The Greetery's newest release!  I can't believe how beautiful this turned out. 

I have to admit that I struggled a little bit to figure out how to use the main floral image in the Floral Delicacy Stamp Set, but honestly, I made it WAY too complicated.  Once I looked at the instruction diagram, and paid attention, it was really easy to whip up a whole bunch of florals. 

For my card, I began by stamping one of the large floral sprays, three of the individual large flowers, four of the seed-like sprays, three of the triple "tulip" sprays, and four of the double "tulip" sprays.  Once I was finished, I die-cut all of the images and set them aside. 

I heat embossed the Congratulations label from the Everyday Labels Stamp Set and also die-cut it with the coordinating die.  

I already had a dry embossed panel ready to go, from a previous project (100 invitations for a 50th Wedding Anniversary that happened to be for the same lovely individual that requested this card).   I had used my absolute favorite embossing folder - Stampin' Up' Pinewood Planks - which is sadly now retired.  I had debated whether or not to ink-blend the panel, but decided to leave it white. 

I adhered the panel to my card base and then set about arranging my images.  This took me a bit to find something I was happy with.  (Arranging flowers is NOT my super power!!!).  Once I had them in place, I snapped a photo so that I could replicate it and began adhering everything in place. 

I am so in love with this card and I know she will love it also!
