Bouquet of flowers featuring the First Frost Bundle by Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I am indulging my love of the First Frost Bundle and DSP creating this beautiful bouquet for a very special Wedding Card. This technique could be used in so many colour combinations for just about any occasion - the only limit is your imagination!

Using the First Frost set on Whisper White cardstock, stamp as follows:

• 3 large roses in Berry Burst ink
• 1 small rose in Berry Burst ink
• 2 "buds" in Merry Merlot ink
• 2 leaf lines in Old Olive ink
• 2 leafy sprigs in Mossy Meadow ink

and cut:

• 2 bud sprays from Mossy Meadow cardstock
• 2 leafy branches from Mossy Meadow cardstock

As a base for your bouquet cut a small circle (about 2 inches in diameter) and cover with double sided tape (here I've used a wide tape purchased from my local craft store).

Remove backing to reveal sticky surface and start positioning your leafy images to form background. Layer with more double sided tape as you cover the previous layer.

Add your roses on top of leafy background. Layer some leaves between flowers to add interest to design. Here I have mounted the top rose and one of the buds on foam squares to add extra dimension and painted all blooms with a Wink of Stella for a touch of bling.

Add a small bow to the stem of your bouquet using the wonderfully versatile SU Glue Dots.

The rest of this card is fairly straight forward. Whisper White cardstock cut to 5.5 inches by 11 inches and folded in half to create a 5.5 inch square base card. A panel of Whisper White cut to 5.25 inches square run thru your favourite embossing folder (here I use a leaf themed one) and a 5.25 inch by 2 inch panel of Frosted Floral DSP.

Change the colours and cardstock used for your leaves and blooms and this beautiful bouquet can be used on any card.
