Awash With Flowers #3

Hi there! As promised, today I have yet another card featuring the brand new Awash with Flowers stamp set. I am loving this set! 

For today's card, I used the masking technique. I started this card by stamping all of the biggest flowers first on Whisper White cardstock. Then I filled in the white spaces with the smaller flowers and leaves. The big tulip on the left was in a place where a leaf and stem would need to go behind it, so I stamped the tulip on a post it note, cut it out, and placed it over the tulip on the project. Then when I stamped over the tulip with my other flowers & leaves, the flower under the post it was protected. Remove the post it, and voila!, layered images.

Today's card uses almost all of the colors in the Earth Elements color family. I love how Stampin' Up has the colors divided into color families, so you know that all of those colors look great together! I think I used 7 of the 12 colors in the family.

I'm making lots of Thank You cards right now, because I have so many to write! Lots of people helped us with our move or gave us gifts, so that is how I will spend my day today, writing Thank Yous. Well, we're taking the kids to see the Diary of a Whimpy Kid movie, too. :-)
