Flower Fest and it sure smells yummy!

Want to give mom a nice surprise when she opens her card, add some Scented Stampin' Emboss Powder to your project and give her a nice welcome scent when she opens it up.
To make the card I started with Calypso Coral cardstock that was embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder.  I added a small layer of Berry Blossoms Designer Series Paper, and a small piece of Calypso Coral 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon.

For the large flower, I first stamped the image using Versa Mark Ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock.  Next I added Clear Emboss Powder and heated the image.  I then sponged some Daffodil Delight ink over the center of the flower, and then added Calypso Coral ink to the rest of the image.  As you can see, the embossed areas resisted the ink.  To add the Vanilla Scented Emboss Powder, I reinked the flower again with my Versa Mark Ink, and then applied the Vanilla Emboss Powder and reheated the flower.  An In-Color Calypso Coral Designer Printed Brad was placed in the center for added embellishment.

Ah - what a nice aroma.  The scented powders come in Vanilla, Melon, and Cherry, and are available in the Occasions Mini Catalog until the end of April.  I don't know if they will be carried over into the new catalog, so if you would like to add a nice surprise to your cards or projects, don't forget to order them soon.
