stipped blossom tutorial step 1
So to start you will need a card base that has been layered with a card stock layer and a layer of DSP.  I used a Baked Brown Sugar card base, a So Saffron layer and Baked Brown Sugar DSP from the in colour paper stack.

Then on Whisper White card stock stamp your flowers and leaves and ‘fussy cut’ them out.
I used So Saffron For the large roses and Crushed Curry for the smaller flowers and Pear Pizzazz for the leaves.  To create the tones i ‘stamped off’ before stamping the first layer.  Stamping off is when you ink the stamp and stamp some of that ink off on a spare bit of paper before stamping on your cards stock.  For the second layer i just stamped straight on to the first layer after inking.  This meant that i didn’t have to worry about matching colours for the details.

Stamp the greeting on a banner piece and roll one end and swallow tail the other.
My strip was 1.5cm and was 4inchs long {i know mixed units but it works for me lol} I stamped the greeting in Baked Brown Sugar.

Adhere the larger leaves to one of the roses.
I used snail adhesive.

By adhering the first rose flat and the next rose on 3D foam means that you get some dimension on the card.
