| Textured Floral |
Today I am a Guest Designer in the Colour and Inkspiration challenge #CI163 ! This was really exciting for me! I've mentioned before how inspired I am by the artists that contribute to this group, then 2 weeks ago I was named the winner of #CI161 !
The instructions for the winning card can be found at this link on my blog.

| The colors for challenge #163 |
These vibrant colors were a treat to work with! The hardest part was picking a stamp set and card layout. My friend Carol sent me a beautiful Easter card using this Fancy Fold, so I decided to give it a whirl with the Textured Floral stamps and dies. I am very happy with how it turned out!

This card is WAY easier than it looks! And it fits in a standard envelope!!
I really hope you will give this a try!

- Sentiment -Basic White: 3/8" strip cut

Asssembly instructions:
- Using bone folder, burnish scoreline well for a good crease.
- Open card base up flat. With face of card up, position 3 largest Stylish Shapes Circle die in center, straddling the scored line. Anchor with post-it note if desired. Run through cut and emboss machine. Remove cut circle.
- Using the Fern 3D embossing folder, line up the front of the card base only in the folder. The score line will line up with the outer edge of the embossing folder. Run through cut and emboss machine.
- Cut circle frame by positioning 3rd largest circle die inside of the largest circle die. Die cut. Adhere circle frame to front of card base only. Because the card base circle and the inner frame circle are the same size, these should line up perfectly.
- Using Poppy Parade ink, stamp largest flower. Using Starry Sky ink, stamp inner flower. Die cut.
- Using Gorgeous Grape ink, stamp 2 middle sized flowers. Die cut.
- Using Starry Sky ink, stamp 2 small sized flower. Die cut
- Detail die cut 2 broad leaf stems from Crushed Curry cardstock.
- Detail die cut 2 small leaf stems from Coastal Cabana cardstock.
- Arrange flowers then adhere. I used glue to adhere the detail die cut stems and middle sized flowers and the top small flower in position. I used 1 layer of dimensionals under the large flower and 2 layers of stacked dimensionals under the bottom small flower
- Using Starry Sky ink, stamp sentiment. I used my scissors to banner cut the end of the label. I used mini glue dots to apply this label.
- Tie a double bow using linen thread. Adhere using mini glue dot.
- Scatter Brushed Brass Butterflies
- Using Starry Sky ink, stamp small flower on inner card base.
Enjoy crafting!!
