Love these Fresh Cut notes!

Here are the cards I made for this week's Workshop Wow challenge. The challenge is to use the retiring In Colors. I got the color combo from Emily who has been making some gorgeous cards using Soft Sky and Chocolate Chip together!
I got the idea for these cards from the card I made a while back where I masked off the card and just stamped on the petals. I loved that look but wanted something on the card itself. So I decided to take 2 note cards and stamp one in Chocolate Chip (yes, I need to reink my pad, LOL) and one in Soft Sky. Then I punched out the petals and used the 2 way glue pen to attach the Soft Sky petals to the Chocolate Chip card and vice versa. I did the petals one at a time so I could keep the pattern sort of lined up. Before I adhered the petals, I edged them in the same color they were stamped with.

This is how it looked after I glued on the petals. I just put a little dab of glue in the 3 spots where the petal pulled off near the middle. This left a little gap; you can see the light shining through in the top photo.

For the Soft Sky card, I used Mono Multi to adhere a felt flower and half pearl to the center, and I tore the edge of the card then added Old Olive around all the card edges. For the Chocolate Chip card, I tied Chocolate Chip ribbon through a ribbon slide and adhered it with Mono Multi. Then I sponged Soft Sky around all 4 edges of the card and stamped "For You" in Chocolate Chip.

Happy stamping!
