Bright and Cheery flowers to welcome the New IBC

It's still available in the NEW Idea Book & Catalogue, the stamp set Flower Fancy and the Square Lattice embossing folder used here. I use this stamp set so much, and there's not really a colour ink it doesn't suit.  Some people have trouble imaging how to use this stamp set, but I always head for it and love exploring new colour combinations to use with it.  I demonstrated this card at a workshop and everyone enjoyed the end result.  The lattice embossing folder is a classic design and can be used in so many ways.  
I got introduced to two step stamping very early on in my Stampin' Up life and I still find it a striking stamping style.  I love using Whisper White  ink on top of colour.  I designed this card with many different stamping techniques, as I like to pack as much into a workshop as possible.  I have used the white uni-ball Gel Pen that Stampin' Up! sell to put faux stitching around the cut out Top Note edge.  Sewing is so easy this way.
I have stamped the outline of the flowers and then 'fussy-cut' them out. I then sponged the edges.  These flowers are mounted using demensionals and a large brad in the centre.
Thanks for stopping by
