Combine Scribble Posies Outline, Scribble Frond Background and Scribble Frond Outline on a spring card delivering a simple upbeat message. There were happy thoughts - literally - when I saw this great new collection!
Hello, happy weekend - Jean Okimoto here with another blog blitz design and a chance for you to win a die from the Garden Bouquet Collection. Bright florals on a dark background are a great spring theme - but it can be challenging to create that look with stamps. Memory Box dies and cardstock create that look quickly and easily.
Cut Scribble Frond Outline from Easter Grass cardstock. Cut Scribble Frond Background from Juicy Pear cardstock.
Cut Scribble Posies Outline from flamingo, white and Coral Creme cardstock. Save the delicate center and outer outlines too. (Outer outlines??)
Cut scraps of yellow glittered cardstock and attach them behind the blossoms.
Stamp the label outline - from the new Big and Little Words Clear Stamp Set - with Verdant VersaFine Clair. Stamp the greeting. Dry the ink, the trim the cardstock and trim the corners with a corner punch. I used the 4mm corner section from the WeRMemoryKeepers corner rounder.
Attach the diecuts to a top-folded 5-⅜" square card of textured dark gray cardstock. Add pale peach gemstickers.
Would you like a chance to win Scribble Posies Outline Die Set? Just add a comment to this post by 11:59pm EST on Sunday, May 12th. One winner will be selected at random to win the new die. All winners will be posted on the Outside the Box blog on Monday, May 13th at 6pm EST. Good luck, and I hope you will visit us often this week!

Jean, I have put off using a dark background on my cards but you have inspired me to do so. These fun flowers really stand out on the dark card! You never can have enough flower dies or stamps!
