I decided to break open a new set called Wild about Flowers from Stampin’ Up!
It is a really pretty set with some great sentiments included too so I set to work stamping the flower stems in smoky slate ink and then embossing the flower heads in silver embossing powder. When I cut out the rectangle with the squares collection framelits, I sponged around the inside of the die with marina mist ink to create a cream border.
The chevron is a cute clipboard I got from WHSmith recently but the blue dotty paper is from the new Schoolhouse Designer Series Paper. I added a lovely punch of colour with Daffodil delight and finished it off with a silver foiled greetings thinlit word. A bit more bling courtesy of the silver glimmer paper and it was complete!
Don’t you love the cute clipboard! It was in the sale too!
Here is the sketch which inspired me –

Lovely card Michelle, great color combo. I don’t have that stamp set yet, but after your card, it’s most certainly on my next order, it’s lovely
So pretty Michelle! I love the colors and your embossing is just perfect! 🙂
Absolutely gorgeous!
That blue and yellow works really well together in combination with black. Who would have thought! Love you have embossed again. Need to do this more often as well.
Beautiful card today Michelle….Love the colours you chose…so subtle yet fun. Nice embossing on the flowers….Hugs from Shelagh.
