Another Stately Flowers Card

Good morning!  Hope your weekend is off to a great start!  Before I head out, I'm popping in quickly to share another card I made with Melanie Muenchinger's gorgeous new stamp set, Stately Flowers 2.  As soon as I saw it, I knew I would use this set for so many different types of cards!  The beautiful florals and versatile sentiments are perfect together!

Here is my card:


This time I went with a more subdued color palette since I was making a sympathy card.  I started with a card base of SU Ruby Red and layered with patterned papers from the My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Rosy 6x6 pad.   I stamped the small camellia from Stately Flowers 2 twice on Cryogen White and colored them with Copics.  I added some Gold Liquid Pearls dots to the flower centers.  They were cut out and popped up on foam tape.  I added a doily made with the Cheery Lynn Polynesian Sails Oval die. Everything was sponged with a little Antique Linen Distress Ink.  A few adhesive pearls finished off my card.

I used the Mojo Monday 222 sketch for my layout and the colors from the Colour Create Challenge #87 (red, sage green and cream).

Here is the Mojo sketch:

Thanks for stopping by!  Enjoy the rest of your weekend and see you soon!
