Hi folks, 

If you saw any projects on social media using the Stamp Joy products and wanted to get them.. here is your chance! Today's project has a little backstory... I am always out of ideas for cards when it comes to florals! Most of my floral cards follow the formula - ink blended background + colored florals on one side or the center. I also find myself using the exact same color scheme over and over again. If you are in the same situation as me.. here is a fun little trick to get more inspiration! 

I LOVE browsing through clothes and prints by fashion designers. Each season has a specific style, layout and color scheme and they almost never repeat them. I like looking at Indian clothes; specifically prints by Masaba and designer wedding lahengas! Today's card was actually inspired by a lahenga that I pinned a while back...

Isn't this absolutely gorgeous? I love the tiny blue and pink mirror work on a bright yellow background. I tried to pick some elements from this dress and recreate them on a card. For example, I didn't have bling at hand so I decided to substitute with a pierced cover plate and used Nuvo Glitter drops. Can you guess the rest?

I first started off by using die cutting Pineapple cardstock using the Pierced Lattice Cutting Plate. I then placed a Lollipop cardstock behind this. I then used Heart Stacklets and Stitched Heart Stacklets die to die cut the hearts out of Sugar Cube cardstock and glitter cardstock. Later, I stamped various images from Full of Flowers - Single and colored them using colored pencils and alcohol markers. Finally, I stamped a sentiment from the same set using Cookie Monster ink and added a sentiment from Building Blocks Love Additions heat embossed on Lollipop cardstock. Finally, for the faux mirror look, I used Nuvo Goldcoast Glitter drops.
