Today we fuse the colors Chocolate Chip, Tangerine Tango, Wild Wasabi, and Blushing Bride. I must say these colors made me really think. I'm not much of an orange and pink person. After much thought, I went to the Beautiful Bouquet Bundle. Flowers come in just about every color. They are a great stand by.

Even though I don't care for orange and pink, I think this card turned out well.

Start with a card base of Chocolate Chip. This color has been ignored by me for a while. It was time to pull it out. The base measures 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 5 1/2.

Make a rectangle of Chocolate Chip by cutting out 2 of the scalloped squares using the Layering Square Framelits. Matching the scallops when overlapping just a little join the 2 squares together. Cut a rectangle of Whisper White in fit inside. Mine measured 1 3/4 x 3 1/2. I imagine the size will vary according to the side of square used and the amount overlapped.

The Bouquet Bunch Framelits were used to cut the flowers and leaves. The cluster of stems (1) and the leaf stems ( about 5) were cut from Wild Wasabi. The smaller cluster of flowers (about 9 or 10) were cut from Blushing Bride. The larger cluster of flowers (4) were cut from Tangerine Tango. The other sprigs (6) were cut from Chocolate Chip.

I can't really tell you how to place these. Just play around with it until you are happy and then start gluing them down. I chose to have a few sprigs along the bottom also.

Tie a bow of Linen Thread. I don't think that you can see it, but I did wind some of the thread around the stems before it was adhered to the card. Add the bow with glue dots.

The tag is part of the framelit set. For You is in the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set. Stamp in Chocolate Chip.

After finishing, I felt that the card needed a little something else. I added some of the dot clusters randomly in Chocolate Chip.

Here is the inside of the card. The sentiment is also from Beautiful Bouquet. Add a few more stems at the bottom.

This card looks a lot harder that it actually is to make. The hard part is figuring out where you want to put each little part.
