Pretty, pretty, pretty!

This is my most favorite new card. I made this with the samples for my Open House last Friday. I saw the Embosslit used to make this flower on another card @ splitcoast and loved it. I also loved this paper as soon as I saw it. It's such HAPPY paper :) To make this flower I ran two Regal Rose pieces of paper throught the Big Shot with the new Stampin' Up! Sweetest Stem Embosslit and one piece of Kiwi Kiss. I snipped the ends off the pink pieces and ink them with Regal Rose ink. Finally I glued them in layers behind the Kiwi Kiss piece. I think the faux stitiching down the side really adds to the quilted look made by the squares of patterned paper.

Ingredients:

Kiwi Kiss, Rose Red, Regal Rose, Whisper White, Raspberry Tart DSP - paper; Regal Rose, Rose Red - ink; All Holidays - stamp set; Big Shot, Sweetest Stem Embosslit, white gel pen, piercing template, ticket corner punch - accessories;
