{Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - Favourite DSP, Ribbon and Embellishment}

Hello and Happy Sunday! 

Welcome to the Stamping Sunday Blog Hop.  Taking part in this blog hop are some amazing Stampin' Up demonstrators who create some inspirational projects, please make sure you have a look at their work.

We could choose our favourite paper, ribbon and embelishments for this months projects.

I choose the Petal Promenade papers, with the metallic threads and white flax ribbon and the Share What you love Artisan Pearls.

I wanted to redecorate a box that I use to store my card bases in, this is what I ended up with...

Then I set to work on the card.

The papers are an absolute dream, so many gorgeous florals and contrasted with with the softer designs of marble.  It's currently available (while stocks last) in the Annual Catalogue.

I knew I wanted to use one of the wreaths that is a feature on one of the papers, so I carefully fussy cut that out with my paper snips.

I cut out various shapes from the Birds and Blooms and the Beautiful Layers die sets.

To add more dimension to the card I made rolled paper flowers.

To see how I made it have a look at the video here...

Here is my video tutorial...
