Thinking Outside the Bloom Box - May Edition

Well here it is, May has arrived and so has Fun Stampers Journey May Bloom Box, Color Me Happy.  This is a really awesome one for sure with so many different ways it can be used.  Today I have piggy backed on yesterdays post and used the bloom box stamp set to  create another circular background card using my free template (see yesterday's post to download the template).

I started off by cutting a piece of Whip Cream card stock to 4.5 x 4.5".  I placed the template onto my light box and centered the card stock onto the template.  Using the open three leaf branch from the stamp set, I stamped the image onto the template using Limeade Splash ink.  With the solid three leaf branch, I stamped the image in between each of the previous branches using Kiwi Slice Ink.  Finally I masked off the long branch from the set and using just the top portion of the stamp and Green Olive Ink, I stamped the image on the center of the first branches.  

With the Journey Circles die set, I cut a circle large enough to cover the center of the card and fit the sentiment from Whip Cream card stock.  I inked the edges with Kiwi Slice ink using our small dauber.  I then rubbed the center of the circle with the remaining ink on the dauber pad.  

The stamped image was matted onto a piece of Lemon Grass cardstock and then attached to a Kiwi Slice card base.  The sentiment was popped up in the center using foam squares.  A Lemongrass twine bow was added under the left side of the circle.  As a finishing touch, I added some of the green Rainbow Drops as an accent.
