All about flowers!
Sometimes I love to just take a vacation inside my stamp room and stamp to my delight just for ME. Last night I made this fun, full of flowers card and it was really like a mini vacation for myself. I received my special stamp set, On a Pedestal from Stampin’ Up! earlier last week for attending Regionals and having a workshop two weeks after the event. I was super excited about this set because of the cake pedestal. I’ve had this idea in my head for quite some time!
Here is a close up of the flowers…
I used the smallest flower from the Pretties Kit and sponged them with Pink Pirouette ink. I placed them on the Basic Grey cardstock stacking them like a cake. Then I added the pearls on top of the flowers using Crystal Effects. Lastly I lightly brushed the flowers with Crystal Effects and added Dazzling Diamonds. It just needed that glitter. Yummy. I used the new Manhatten Embossing Folder on the Whisper White cardstock for extra texture. I also made the Pedestal three dimensional. That made me smile silly. Again… I don’t know anyone getting married, so I guess I will just stare at this card. Blah!
It’s way past my bedtime tonight. Off to bed and a busy day tomorrow. Hope your week is super spectacular!

This is stunning!
Wow! What a gorgeous card! The pedestal stamp is perfect for this clever idea! You have added so many super awesome details! I especially love the idea of adding some sparkle to the flowers by using Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds glitter! Hopefully you get invited to a wedding in the near future… this is such a beautiful card to “waste”.
TFS!
That is gorgeous! I just LOOOOOOVE it!
Kim,
This is beautiful. I’ve never seen anything so pretty. My daughter is getting married in June, you could send it to her! (Ha Ha)
love this idea, so beautiful! I can’t wait to get my preorder/march stuff (today)- the texture plate looks great! I was gone for a three day weekend and came back to so many new posts from you, so fun!
Gorgeous! I may have actually gasped when the picture loaded! All those pretties and pearls on there you will definitely want to make sure you give it to a couple who is likely to stay together
