Apothecary Accents Framelits, Bordering on Romance, and Bitty Banners Framelits

What are your thought about the new Stampin' Up! Apothecary Accents Framelits (127003)?  I really like them.  Actually, all of Stampin' Up! Framelits are really great.  The largest framelit from the Apothecary Accents Framelits was used to produce the centerpiece of this card, which is explained at the end of this post.

This card measures 5-3/4" by 5-1/2", and the card base is Old Olive Cardstock (100702).  The beautiful new Raspberry Ripple Cardstock (126842) from the 2012-2014 In Color Collection is featured on the top portion of the card.  The sentiment is from a retired stamp set and it rests on another new In Color cardstock, Summer Starfruit (126839) and the Raspberry Ripple Cardstock.  Both were made with one of the Bitty Banners Framelits (129267).

This picture provides a different view of the card.

Card's Centerpiece



The following steps were followed to create the centerpiece:

1.  Cut from Whisper White cardstock the largest Apothecary Accents Framelit to create a stencil.

2.  Lay the stencil over a 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock and, using daubers, pounce Pretty in Pink, So Saffron, and Old Olive Classic Ink within the stencil.



3.  Cover the largest floral stamp from the Bordering on Romance stamp set with Raspberry Ripple (126856) and Old Olive Stampin' Write Markers (100079).  Stamp this image onto the center of the piece below.

4.  Embellish this piece with the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder (117305).

5.  Cut the same framelit from Raspberry Ripple cardstock (5-1/2" x 4-1/4").   Embellish with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder (120175).   Adhere this piece on the upper part of the card base. 

6.  Adhere the centerpiece (step 4) into the Raspberry Ripple cardstock.

7.  Cut another framelit (same size) from Summer Starfruit cardstock (126839).  Following the impression left on the negative, cut out the frame and attach it over the centerpiece.









Enjoy!!
