Welcome back to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!  This week’s theme is “Put Some Bling On It”.  Stampin’ Up! has so many fun, new embellishments…it is hard to choose!  I ended up using two different types of bling on my card!

TROPICAL LEAF

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Shaded Spruce cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
• The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock was cut with the Radiating Stitches large die.  It was added to the front.
• A 1/2 x 4 strip of More Dazzle Specialty Paper was added across the center of the Lemon Lime Twist layer.
• The next size rectangle from Radiating Stitches was cut from Basic White cardstock, the stems were stamped with Shaded Spruce Ink towards the left.  It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• The large Tropical Leaf (Online Exclusive) was stamped on Basic White cardstock with Lemon Lime Twist Ink and Granny Apple Green for the veins, then punched with the Tropical Leaf Punch (Online Exclusive).  The two smaller leaves were stamped with Shaded Spruce Ink on Basic White cardstock and hand-cut.  They were all added to the stems with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• Hello from Tropical Leaf stamp set was stamped with Shaded Spruce ink and cut with the circle Radiating Stitches Die, then added to a 1/4 x 2-1/2 strip of Shaded Spruce cardstock, then to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  The end was cut an an angle.
• A trio of gold Adhesive Backed Pastel Sequins were added to the leaf and the background for a little bling!

Love this color combination!  OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Connie and Mary website, then on to creative Mary Brown, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!
