Now to the details on my card today ....

My card uses the brand new Wild Rose stamp set and coordinating dies together with the new Moonflower cardstock and previously released Weaving Plate die.

I used the Weaving Plate die to die cut an A2 panel of the very beautiful new Moonflower cardstock.  I backed this panel with white craft foam and glued it to a larger white card base and I set that to one side.

I stamped the floral images, coloured with Copic markers, splashed on Simon's Pawsitively Perfect White Splatter Medium then die cut using the coordinating die set.

Each image was backed with dimensional foam tape and adhered to the Moonflower panel allowing the petals and leaves to overhang the edges but not to exceed the edges of the card base so that it isn't too vulnerable when mailed out!

To complete this sympathy card, I chose a sentiment from the Wild Rose stamp set, stamped and die cut the image and floated it above the roses with tiny pieces of dimensional foam tape in a single or double layer depending on what was behind it.  I also grabbed some gold glitter Stickles and dotted it into the centre of the open flowers as a final touch.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today and don't forget to comment to be in the running for one of those $25 coupons.  Have a wonderful day!
