I have had these Fresh Cut Florals stamps and dies for ages but have been intimidated using them, as they are everywhere in blogland, and I felt I had nothing unique to offer. So these stamped and die-cut images were just waiting for me in a little plastic bag where I had set them aside after making them. This time, after stamping the stripe in pink and adding a Martha Stewart doily edge punch, everything came together to my liking. They are so much fun to play with and arrange in different ways - maybe I'll not be so slow to use them next time!
Hope you like it too - thanks for visiting!
your card is just wonderful Lin - i love those Wplus9 florals - they are so easy to use - and i haven't used that striped HA stamp in ages - might have resurrect it - all together a lovely card!

So dear, Lin. This card reminds me of a wonderful set of bed sheets that my Mom had. These stamps look like such fun - I have wanted them for months. Now the dies are out of stock! Ah, well, I can't really play yet....thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love those little flowers and the stripes with the doily edge! This looks great! So glad you pulled out those stamps and dies to use.
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely lovely! I adore anything with stripes and flowers - sort of shabby chic - and this is adorable. Great card Lin! Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove this card, Lin! Been wanting to stop by and finally had the chance. Your pretty flowers look gorgeous along with the stripes and laced edge!
ReplyDeleteI love your choice of flowers and colors on this card, Lin...perfect with your patterned paper and lovely design!
ReplyDeleteWell, Lin - I beg to differ! Beautiful and unique offering :)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE this Lin! I can totally relate as I have these stamps and dies too but have yet to use them. This really is unique and so pretty with the pink ticked stripe paper.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Lin - I'm glad you took the plunge with your WPlus9 florals... this card is a stunner!! I have that set too, and have found it quite addictive, seeing what lovely posies I can put together, and enjoying all kinds of colour combos. Will look forward to seeing what you make next ;) Rx
ReplyDeleteSimple and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSuch an beautiful card. It really caught my eye on Pnterest. But what I loved reading on your blog is that you were intimidated to use them because you felt you had nothing new to offer. Wow! I feel that way a lot too! Thanks so much for sharing!
