Pressed Petals & Very Versailles

One of the things I like about Stampin' Up! is that the products can be mixed and matched so easily. While looking through the beautiful new catalog, I fell in love with the Very Versailles stamp set and Pressed Petals designer series paper. And don't even get me started about the Pressed Petals washi tape and the cute Perennial Essence Floral Centers, oh and the Scripty embossing folder. These things are not all from the same product suite, but they pair beautifully together!

All three of cards have flowers made from the washi tape. It's just so much fun to make them and very easy. The petals are placed on the roll individualy, you simply peel a petal off the roll and stick it where you'd like to create your flower. I wanted my flowers to have some dimension, so I punched out a circle from cardstock and then applied 6-8 petals around the circle to form a flower.

Take a look at the images on one of the sheet patterns. They are ready to cut out and use on a project. These photographs of pressed flowers are amazing.
