Check out how beautifully the die cut floral patterns of the Stampin’ Up! Petal Patterns Dies pair with each other. Then, think of all the color possibilities! I used Boho Blue for the solid floral die cut and Lemon Lolly for the detailed floral die cut. I discovered the large Copper Clay Adhesive Backed gems fit neatly into the open flower centers for a quick and easy pop of texture and shine. Boho blue, Lemon Lolly and Copper Clay combine for a really retro color combination.
Petal Patterns Card – lots of color possibilities!
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIP. The actual size of the Petal Patterns die cuts is (4 7/8 x 4 7/8), larger than my card. However, after adhering the two together, I performed a little “surgery” to make them fit. I used my Stampin’ Trimmer to trim out a section and covered the seam with the sentiment. No one will ever know!
