Concord & 9th | Flower Power Release | Feature Friday Week #3 + Giveaway!


I'm back to share more inspiration for Concord & 9th's Flower Power Release! In this third and final week, I'm sharing two cards featuring the Simply You Bundle and the Magnolia Messages Bundle. I'm also giving away one $25 gift certificate so please be sure to read 'til the end for details.


My first card features the Simply You Bundle and I started by stamping the background image from the Simply You stamp set in Ballet Slipper ink. I then cut out a mask for the tiny tulip and stamped a shadow image behind each existing tulip using Stardust ink.


I used the coordinating scalloped frame from the Simply You dies and stacked it two-high. I stamped the word 'miss' in Midnight ink and also die cut two layers of the word 'you' from Midnight cardstock. 


Since this is a very clean and simple design, I added a panel cut from the Stitched Vines Card Front and trimmed down to 4" x 5.25" to show the Dove cardstock base. I'm completely obsessed with the Stitched Vines Card Front and want to use it on every card! It adds so much detail without overwhelming the overall design.


I already shared the small floral die from Magnolia Perfect Pairings in my second card for Week #1 so my second card for this week features the large floral border. This border is absolutely stunning and I knew I wanted to cut it up with different colours of cardstock to create a fresh, spring look!


I started by die cutting the border from white, Buttercup, Sprout, Parsley and Clover cardstock. I used the white base to glue the pieces from the four colours. I used my scissors to snip sections from each colour, starting with colours that would be at the base so the consecutive colours would overlap.


I used Sprout for the small, solid leaves; Parsley for the detailed magnolia leaves; Clover for the small posies; and Buttercup for the magnolias. For more details, I added white flowers using the Friendship Garden dies. To finish, I stamped a sentiment from the Magnolia Messages stamp set using Mushroom ink.
