I don't think I have used enough blues lately, and plus blue colors seem so amazing and easy to put together!
Ok, so, not to sound like I am bragging, but WOW I love this card. lol. Do you ever make something that you can help but keep staring at? I admit it, I often get highly pleased with myself.
ANYwho. lol. So, Marina Mist swirls stamped on Bashful Blue. I stamped the flowers separate with Not Quite Navy ink onto Marina Mist CS. Punched them out with the Boho Blossoms punch, instead of a circle like I had originally planned. Added Rhinestones (rhinestone brads for now) to the flower centers, and the flowers are raised on dimensionals. (tip: put the flowers on last after assembling the rest of the card first!).
Lay the strips of ribbon, attaching the strips behind the layer. Tied a bow with a separate piece of ribbon on each strip. I placed a glue dot behind the bows to keep it in place.
Base layer is using the Square Lattice Folder, which I finally got.
Maybe eventually I will stop using this stamp set all the time, but I just love this swirl! I have used it a lot already!
