You’ve Got This Lace & Vintage Embossed Flower

As soon as I started seeing samples for this stamp set – You’ve Got This – I knew I needed it! And as I’ve been working hard to finish out the Stampin’ Up year and get those last few points I need to earn the amazing trip of a lifetime from Stampin’ Up… I decided today I needed this sentiment.

I’m pretty sure I found this or a similar card online and was totally inspired but now I can’t find the inspiration, but I just loved playing with the new ribbon, embossing, and the pulling out the Vintage buttons that I had totally forgotten about!

Tips for making this card:

Don’t always feel you have to color in your flowers – try embossing on colored cardstock instead! Yes, I had to hand cut out the flower head, but isn’t it pretty? I stamped with Versamark onto Watermelon Wonder cardstock and cover with white embossing powder and heat set. Pretty huh?
Pop the flower head up for extra dimension! I stamped my flower onto the card front with Cucumber Crush ink and just used that to tell where to place my cut out flower head.
Layer your In Color dotted lace trim over Whisper White paper to allow the pretty pattern to show through!
Tie some linen thread through one of the Vintage Buttons and tie in a bow for the perfect extra accent.

Try this card out with any of the new In Colors for a bunch of different looks all with the same basic design! Mint Macaron and Delightful Dijon would both be awesome versions as well!
