There is one Stampin' Up! demonstrator that I enjoy following because she makes such elegant cards, Gail Ellis. She used to be on the Stampin' Up! Artisan team, and I can see why!!
Flowers die cut in Fresh Freesia and Highland Heather and the stamped flower is colored in with the Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blends.The background is stamped (Smoky Slate) using a retired stamp set Notes of Texture, and I chose to use the retired Mixed Labels Die for the sentiment as well as the anniversary sentiment from Elegantly Said.
Card #2 is Hydrangea Hue - I love this color!! The Anniversary sentiment is from PHRASES & FRAMES.
This third card I made for a bridal shower to add to the gift I bought for the new bride. I loved it so much that I cut enough for my Tuesday stampers, but put a Happy Birthday sentiment on it instead. The flowers are die cut from Fresh Freesia. The sentiment came from a favorite (but retired) stamp set Wonderful Moments.For these three cards we used the FRAMED VIOLETS and VIOLET DREAMS DSP. We also used the FERN & FLORA Dies. Card #2 also uses the BORDERED IN BEAUTY Dies. For the center of the flowers you can use the 2026-2028 In Color Pearls (in Golden Glow) OR you can use the Iridescent Pearls and color them (if desired) with the dark Golden Glow Stampin' Blend.
Just an FYI - Gail doesn't share any details on how to make her cards. I changed up the sentiment on all of them and also changed up the die cuts for the sentiments. She does have a PDF that you can purchase, but I am too stubborn to buy one since I can pretty much figure out how to make things just looking at the photo.
