A thank you card made using the Gallery Blooms and Coneflower Celebrations stamp sets with the Exposed Brick embossing folder from Stampin' Up!

Gallery Blooms card

I am sharing a thank you card today made using the gorgeous Gallery Blooms stamp set.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

I created the gallery blooms card using the following supplies:

Soft Sea Foam card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Basic Gray card – 5½” by 3¾”
Soft Sea Foam card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 3¼” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”

 

I cut the panel of Soft Sea Foam card on the diagonal and ran one half through my cut and emboss machine with the Exposed Brick Embossing Folder. I glued the embossed piece to the layer of Basic Gray card leaving an ⅛” around the bottom and both sides and trimmed the top layer down to leave a ⅛” border.

The whole panel was then mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.
