Howdy all and welcome back. Here is another "summer" inspired set. I now having my husband eating Altoides in flavors he has never had before - so the top of the lid matches the project I'm working on.....yah, he's really impressed. Wintergreen is now my favorite flavor though.
On to the projects. The stamp set is Garden Greetings, page 55. The front item is the altoid tin, covered with the FLOCK TOGETHER DSP on page 161 of your catalog. The mat is Garden Green and the flowers are White embossed on Garden Green, Tempting Turquoise and So Saffron. I also used the large oval punch and the new Scalloped Oval punch from the Occasions Mini, page 8.
Another little matchbox - top right. This time, it has a window. I used the Scallop Oval punch again, punched out the hole, then adhered a piece of clear plastic from behind. Decorated the top with a bunch more of the cut out flowers and some Bold Brights Brads on page 174.
The Card, is a 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 top fold in Tempting Turquoise then Garden Green 4 x 5-1/4, then more DSP(3-7/8 x 5-1/8) from FLOCK TOGETHER. I embossed a pile of these flower with my heat tool and white embossing powder. The large flower is 3 layers cut out, I punched a hole in the center and brought both pieces of ribbon through, then tied a knot. You do need a couple of dimensionals to hold your flower in place, but it adds some interest to the card (kind of like the show, How'd They do That?)
Ok, that is it. The paper and Ink is a flying. Stay tuned for some more cool new stuff.
As always, thanks for stopping.
I just L-O-V-E those colors together! Woo hooo! Applause, applause!
