Awash with Flowers – TSSC117

I like to play along with Mary Jo's Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge…she always has fun sketches.  It just seems lately that I haven't had the time!  I made time this morning to whip up this quick card!  The length of the focal element just screamed FLOWERS to me!

 

I earned this set FREE this month with Stampin' Up!'s Awash with Flowers hostess promotion going on during the month of April!  For a $350 workshop, you can earn this set for free, too!  Because it is two-step, I decided to go with the clear mount.  I must say, the clear mount made it really easy to line up!

 

I started with a base of Rich Razzleberry (aren't you GLAD this is staying in the catalog?  Woohoo!)  The focal element I stamped the top of the flower in Rich Razzleberry on Whisper White and added a Basic Black outline around it.  I stamped the stem in Always Artichoke and watercolored the leaves.  I layered this on Rich Razzleberry cardstock, then added a strip of Always Artichoke that I punched with the Scallop Edge punch.  I tied a Crushed Curry Polka Dot bow and placed it on the stem with Mini Glue Dots.

 

I layered this on a piece of Crushed Curry that I ran thru the Big Shot with the new Square Lattice Impressions Folder (available May 1) and that was layered on Always Artichoke.  Finally, I added two tabs of the Crushed Curry Polka Dot Ribbon.  I stamped Happy Anniversary from Teeny Tiny Wishes in Basic Black, punched with the Word Window punch and added to a Modern Label punched from Always Artichoke.  I needed an Anniversary card for my Mom and Dad, so this will work perfectly (51 years!  Congratulations!)
