This is going to sound kind of wacky, but as I was editing the pictures for this post it totally took me back 15 years ago sitting at one of my Boyfriends football games with his parents (I hung out with his parents more back then than I hung out with anyone!) Yelling with the Cheer Leaders GO Big BLUE and GOLD! Go Big BLUE!!!!! By now you have probably figured out our colors were royal blue and gold!
So I chose Metallic Gold Paper from SU, and one of the new SU "In Colors" I had not used much yet Pacific Point, and I added some sheer blue ribbon to the top of the card. I gotta love my Metallic Card Stocks, and my sheer ribbons in all colors!
I Dry Embossed the Blue background with Swiss Dots. The diagonal Square in the center is using Texture
I used the Buttons#5 die for the center of the flower (yes that center is a small die cut out button)
.......
I used the 6 petal flower punch from the Birds and Blooms die cut set, cut it twice one on blue and once on gold, then I embossed the flowers with Swiss Dot, and turned one over so they would both look different textures! I then threw it all together with stampin dimensional's, and added some sheer blue ribbon. It just fell that way around the card framing it after I tied the bow!
I have more deets on this card and more cropped fine images on my stamping blog along with lots of tutorials, 3-D projects scrap booking pages (both digital and paper), and lots of cards at:
