Floral Fusion (Retiring)

Hello Stampers, I trust everyone had a safe and happy Mother's Day weekend.  I wanted to share with you a card I did quite a few months ago.  I like the color combination so much and some of the product uses is retiring.  Oh me!  The Floral Fusion Sizzlit, Lattice Square and Stripes Embossing Folder is retiring and I wanted to share it with you.  You have until June 2nd to order these items it they are still available.  I am sure I saw this idea on someone's blog but can't remember who and went with my version of it.  You could do birthday, celebrate, retirement, etc. The ribbon was dyed by using a reinker to match the card stock. See instructions below.  Stampin' Up supplies used: Stamp set: Teeny Tiny Wishes (w) 128748 (c) 127802.  Floral Fusion Sizzlit , Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack 118309   (retiring June 2nd). Embossing Folders: Lattice Square 119976 and Stripes 123128 both retiring. Cardstock: Calypso Coral 122925, Old Olive 100703 Daffodil Delight 118683,  DSP Polka Dot Parade 126902 retiring and Whisper White100730. Ink: Calypso Coral 126983.  Accessories: dimensionals for flowers, white pearls, ½ inch ribbon died to match. ( 70% alcohol and 6 drops of Calypso Coral reinker (in a spritz bottle) or until you get the color you need, shake and spray ribbon. I used a light pink ribbon and cut it to size and put on wax paper to spritz and let dry). If there are any of these items you want don't hesitate to long...the retiring stamp sale ends June 2nd.  Visit my online store by clicking the catalog in sidebar.

Base card 4 ¼ x 11 and score at 5 ½ and set aside. Old Olive layer is 4 x 5 ¼, polka dot dsp is 3 13/16 x 5, striped piece is 1 ¼ inch, Calypso Coral piece in the lattice square is 4 ¼ x 3 13/16, Old Olive piece holding flowers is 1 ¾ x 4, Whisper White is 1 ½ x3 ¾ .
