I’m so excited to be a part of the ESAD blog hop and sharing my favourites from the 2017-2018 Annual Catalogue with you.
I am loving all things flowers in the new catty and two of my favourite sets are the Floral Statements stamp set and the Climbing Orchid stamp set.
For my first card, I silver embossed the Thanks stamp of the Floral Statements stamp set. I have to tell you, this looks so pretty all on it’s own! I then coloured it with the watercolour pencils. I used Melon Mambo and Rich Razzleberry for the flowers and Old Olive for the greenery. A little bit of blending with a blender pen, and voila!! it’s all done! I then layered it up with Silver foil, Rich Razzleberry and an Old Olive base. I just love the Old Olive Mini Chevron Ribbon, don’t you?
I just received my order of the new embossing paste and had to play with it straight away! I used a small bit of paste and mixed it with Cherry cobbler and Cajun Craze re-inkers to make a brick wall using the decorative masks. This stuff is so fun!! And very addictive!!!
To create my orchids to climb up the wall, my clever friend, Bronwyn Eastley has created a number of orchid images to inspire us. Click here to see her images. I decided to use this one for my next card.
To create the stems, I used the stem from the Seasonal Layers thinlits, cut out two and stuck them together with my fine tip glue pen. Whilst that was drying, I created the flowers using Rich Razzleberry and Daffodil Delight. I also added some Stella to the DD flowers for a bit of bling.
I then created the sentiment using the Birthday Banners stamp set and the Bunch of Banners framelits.
I’m pretty happy with these two cards!! Please leave me a comment and let me know if you do too!

The Paper and Stamp Addict 
Love both your cards especially the orchid and I must really try the embossing paste. xx
Two beautiful cards, although if I had to pic the orchids would be my favourite, the colours are so fun and I love orchids!
Nice one Rebecca, so nice to see that Floral Statements stamp heat embossed instead of just stamped in black!
Rebecca, WOW just stunning both of your cards… I totally forget to use embossing powder to create interest and your colouring is just beautiful ❤ Those Orchids keep popping up, something that didn't appeal to me BUT slowly I am being convinced ❤ Thanks for sharing ❤
Have a wonderful day, hope you got to do some crafting Cheers Shaz
Oh thank you. And you do need the orchid set, it is stunning!
The silver embossing on the first card looks amazing. I love it
2 of my faves Rebecca. I love both cards so much and the silver embossing just looks fabulous.
These look awesome I’m starting to think I need to get the orchid stamp set now 🙂
Stunning cards Rebecca!
Beautiful cards and colour combos! Better be getting myself some paste very soon! 🙂
Love these two cards so much. The brick wall looks so real, and love the idea of an orchid inspiration colour palette! Your silver embossed Floral Statements card is just amazing!
These are beautiful projects Rebecca
What goegeous cards you have created Rebecca with your different embossing techniques.
They are both so gorgeous. I love just how varied orchids are in nature, you’ve done an amazing job matching yours.
Just Beautiful! Lots more ideas are running through my head from your post!
Gorgeous projects Rebecca I love both of them and am looking forward to my order arriving tomorrow and playing with yet another rose ! A girl can’t have too many right !
I love so much about your cards Bec, but the brick wall is my highlight.
