Using Stampin' Up's Floral Statements to say "Hello"

Hello!
So, on Instagram the other day I did promise that the next card I'd share on here would be my friends birthday card but unfortunately I have been a little under the weather and so I haven't had a chance to edit the pictures yet. But, I do still have a card to share with you (one that I made with new products, too) so all's not lost!
I love, love, loved this Floral Statements stamp set as soon as I saw it in the new catty. My inspiration came from the navy gingham ribbon (also new) and the many tops I've seen in the shops this summer in gingham with bold embroidered flowers on them...

 I stamped the image in Navy and then again using versamark before heat embossing with clear E.P.
You can easily do this using a stamp-a-ma-jig or by using a stamp platform if you have one :-) I then coloured the flowers in Berry Burst and leaves are in Lemon Lime Twist.

 Yummy navy gingham ribbon and a few mini metallic sequins and this card was done!

I loved making this and I can't wait to play with it some more!
Thanks so much for looking today,

Jeannettes Birthday :0)

Good Morning to you all,

I have scheduled this post as today I'm taking the kids out today to a tree house centre which is just down the road from me. I didn't even realise it was so close 'till last week when Zack was invited to a party there in a couple of weeks, *shame on me* They have got an open day tomorrow as it's half term with lots of fun things to do. I think I am looking forward to it more than the kiddies !!

Right onto the card, this one is for Jeannette, my SU! sister who's birthday it was on Tuesday, hope it was a good one hun xxx I hope she has got this already what with the postal strike and all...

I used a different design for a change today, thought you may get fed up with seeing easel style ones!?! Don't worry I'm sure they will be back very soon,

Stamp set used is the fab Flight of the Butterfly with it's matching punch {{love it}}

Card is Pale Plum with matching Pale Plum and Perfect Plum inks,

Some butterflies were stamped on card and then others stamped on SU! Vellum card stock and heat embossed using clear embossing powder to set.

I tied this one for dimension with some ribbon I had in my stash,

And finally here is the side view so you can see properly the mountains and valleys, said in a very "Stacey (Gavin and Stacey)" way :0) LOL!!

I hope you are all enjoying the half term break, do come back tomorrow as I have been working on a set of invites for a friend who is having a little get together for her mum's 75th birthday.

I hope to see you here,

Hugs Sarah-Jane xxx
