Almost neon? When I showed this card to my husband that was his comment. I suddenly had a flashback to the many pieces of neon clothing I wore in the 70s. Scary!
The look I was going for with this card was fun and friendly. I used the new Tangerine Tango, Melon Mambo and Wild Wasabi embossing powders from the Summer Mini Catalogue with Whisper White Craft ink. I am finding that using the Whisper White Craft ink produces a slightly brighter image than using VersaMark ink for the embossing.
I heat embossed the Flower Fest stamp set images onto Night of Navy cardstock and then punched or cut them out to assemble the flowers. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals between the layers to make them stand out a bit more.
The card itself is layers of Whisper White and Night of Navy cardstocks with a Night of Navy patterned paper from the Regals Patterns Designer Series Paper Stack.
So, was I successful? Is this card fun and friendly? Please leave me a comment and let me know if you like the look of the bright embossing powders on dark colored cardstock. Thanks!

I was going to use a different set for today’s post, Really!
But what is there about the Fabulous Florets stamp set that keeps me reaching for it every time I stamp. Is it because of how easy it is to use, how it coordinates with the Beyond the Garden designer series paper or how great an investment it is. Maybe, it is because I never seem to get the stamp set put away before I use it again.
Whatever it is about the Fabulous Florets stamp set, I am loving the cards I can create with this set. It really is fabulous!
For this card, I simply stamped with Whisper White craft ink (VersaMark would work well, too) and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I layered the Pacific Point cardstock with the images onto a layer of Whisper White cardstock and then used dimensionals to add this piece to the card. The card was created of layers of Whisper White and Pacific Point cardstocks and the new Beyond the Garden designer series paper in a matching pattern. So easy!

I layered the two punched pieces with a dimensional between them to make this card. So easy and so pretty! Want to know some of my other favorites? Keep reading!
