Florence Blog Hop

Welcome to the Florence Collection Blog Hop if you arrived here from  Denise's Scrap, Stamp and Share you are in the right place. If you arrived her by chance no worries just click on the link at the end of this post to continue the hop.

The Florence Collection is fabulous, the papers are beautiful, and the compliments kit contains 2 6x6 sticker sheets, assorted diecuts, sequins and the Copper Foil Tape.

I really enjoyed working with this collection, I really like how easy these two layouts came together, I used the Flip Flaps in the first layout and they are great, allowing you to add lots of photos to your page without making the page look cluttered.






This card folds flat for posting but can also stand for display, it's called a Z fold card it's a standard 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".  You can find instructions here to make this card, my card opens from the bottom rather than the side. Adding the flower at the top of the card allows you to stand it up  for display yet it folds flat for posting. I stamped the image on Colonial White cardstock and then a second time so I could colour the flowers with the Shin Han Markers. After colouring the flowers I  used the new Shimmer Brush Z3293 , it add a lovely shine to the inked images. Then I fussy cut the flowers and added them the card adhering them with foam Tape.
