Rita Holmes had a Facebook video on May 7th making a card like this with different dsp.  I thought it would be fun to give it a try.  The middle flips up for a sentiment and a brief message.  Below is a picture of the card when it is open.  The dsp I used is from the retired Sun Prints collection.

 

I like the card but doubt I'll make more.  Thank you for coming by today!

The card base is Mossy Meadow with a 4" x 5 1/4" white piece of card stock that was embossed with the Painted Texture embossing folder. One more card using the Fine Art Floral dsp.  I had a leftover piece from another project so I cut it for the two flowers to be the focal point of the card.  I matted with Mossy Meadow.

My card base is Flirty Flamingo.  I've seen several demonstrations using this technique and it actually only uses a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of dsp.  Using another sheet of the Fine Art Floral paper, I cut a triangle out of the center of the dsp.  This piece was then matted with Merry Merlot card stock.  The section cut out is then matted and added back over the opening of the larger piece using dimensionals.  By doing it this way the pattern of the dsp on both pieces matches up perfectly.

A few weeks ago I saw a video by Stamps-N-Lingers using the Art Gallery Stamp stamps and Fine Art Floral dsp. What I really liked about it was that she had stamped one of the images in several places around the card base either with VersaMark or like I did with the SoSaffron ink.  It gives a nice dimension to the background.  I added a piece of the dsp to a mat of Pretty Peacock before adding it to the card base.  The flower stamp was inked up and die cut. I added it with dimensionals.  The sentiment was also added with dimensionals over the stem but with no dimensional in the center since the flower was already raised.

Susan Stampfield made a card pretty much like this one using "Side B" of one of the Fine Art Floral dsp sheets.  It's a pretty simple card but I thought it was fun to use the reverse side of some of the dsp.

This is a second card I made using the "Fine Art Floral" retired dsp.  And once again I used some of the coordinating Golden Garden Designer Specialty paper.  You can see a closer look at the gold outlines below.

When my mother passed in April 2021, the care center had a memorial service a few months later for all who had passed during the previous year.  Each family was given a little rose bush to plant in memory of their loved one.  We babied it and made sure it was watered.  During the winter months my husband had it covered with a rubber tote.  Last year we had a few flowers and it had grown a bit.  We covered it again for a third winter and this year my little rose busy is flourishing.  I think my mother is definitely smiling.

I used retired Fine Art Floral DSP for this card.  There was a coordinating Golden Garden Designer Specialty Paper that matched the design exactly.  I added some glue dots in areas around the dsp so that the layers could be adhered together.    Below you can see a close up of the gold layer.
