It’s Sunday…and time to play with The Paper Players! The lovely Nance Leedy has a theme challenge for us this week. Just use a floral image on your card! I decided to meet this criteria by using the beautiful floral pattern from the Attic Boutique Designer Series Paper Collection, as well as by using the Apothecary Art stamp set. I hope you enjoy today’s delightfully feminine and romantic card!
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips: Feminine and Romantic
- Patterns! One way to create an air of femininity is through the pattern papers you select. This romantic Floral design from Attic Boutique is a perfect choice for a romantic, feminine look!
- Pearls! Nothing says “Girls” better than “Pearls”! I could not resist mimicking the Doily pattern of this designer paper by adding three different sizes of Basic Pearls.
- Dazzle! Dazzling Details add soft sparkle to the centers of the flowers in this Apothecary Art label. (Tip: For even more sparkle, dust with Dazzling Diamonds while still wet!) To get the narrow border around the label, I paper snipped around the stamped image, and then adhered it upon the Framelits label which is the same size as the original stamped image.
- Blossoms! Poppy Parade blossoms were snipped from a second Apothecary Art image and used to accent the sentiment. I used the Simply Scored tool to form creases at each end of the sentiment, which I then folded to form an elevated banner.
I hope you enjoyed today’s card. Don’t forget, I will be selecting one of you to be it’s new owner. As always, your comments are important to me, and I do appreciate each and every one of them. Of course, I am always available to answer any questions you may have about the cards that I create and the techniques that I use. I am only an email away! Until next time…
So pretty! Love the umbrella and flowers together. And of course, the generous helping of pearls is a clincher for me. 😉
The detail on this is staggering Ann – it’s just wonderful!
Ann, this is simply beautiful ! Elegant ! Feminine ! I love it!!
Ann your card has the look of porcelain and old lace. Absolutely fabulous. I love the fact that you captured the different size pearls with the lacy doily background. Fabulous job
Have a wonderful week

Gorgeous!! You must go through a pack of pearls in a week! Beautiful, beautiful card!
Beautiful card, Ann. Love all the feminine touches. x
Somebody get ME an umbrella…because it’s raining pearls over here!! Whoo-whee!! Ann, once again you rocked it! I didn’t give that Rue Des Fleurs set a second look because I couldn’t picture using it. This changes everything. Your card needs to be in the mini…they would sell-out of that set. Just gorgeous! 🙂
Beautiful! Love the pearls!
Hello Ann,
your card is so wonderful, very romantic!!
Greetings

What a lovely card Ann! The colors are gorgeous and I love how you’ve fussy-cut some extra flowers to frame the sentiment banner. They add so much dimension and interest to the focal piece! And all the pearls are to die for, my friend! Lovely!
Such a beautiful card and spectacular just as I thought. Love the addition of the umbrella and of course the pearls add such a romantic feel to the card. Dar
Stunning! The details are incredible. I especially like the pearls and the floral paper.
The umbrella is so sweet and looks fabulous as an accent to that gorgeous Apothacary Art label. Love the extra flowers with the sparkly centers as well. Beautiful!

The colors are beautiful. All the details are super. I really appreciate the close-up shots and the information you give. You are so generous with pearls! What a great example you are for many of us. Thank you, again.
Beautiful Ann. The stamp sets, paper and embellishments all fit your style. Love the little flowers on the banner.
Wow! This is gorgeous. I love the pearls on the doily DSP and the fussy cut flowers on the label. All the elements add up to beautiful!
Wow, I thought you could never create anything better than perfection… Well there goes that theory! This card is beyond perfection my friend! Stunning is such an inadequate word!
What a delightful card Ann! I love the spray of pearls and the addition of the umbrella…so cute!
Eek, I would feel so guilty using all those pearls!Very vintage-y card and great paper snipping! Yes, very feminine!
This is just beautiful, Ann: you’ve outdone yourself again!
Beautiful as always! The pearls always get me, but the details that you include. I would not have thought to include the umbrella and it adds so much! Thank you for sharing your talent!

Hi Ann! Beautiful card! I really love how you did the label edge, the banner with scoring, and snipped the extra blossoms to add. Just a fantastic focal point with bright, cheery colors and pearls. Gorgeous!
Breath-taking! Details upon details and then the glitz and glam – how do you do this time after time?! I love the 3D effect that all those extra snips and folds give this card. I should be so lucky as to receive this inspiring treasure!
