I love this Stippled Blossoms set…I think everyone knows I love flowers! In fact, I used this set for one of my weeks on Create with Connie and Mary's Card "Create"tions! Today's Create with Connie and Mary sketch fit the images perfectly so I pulled it out again to use.
I think what makes this card so different is the colors! I'm a happy camper that Pool Party is staying in the lineup for the next catalog. I don't know what I would have done without it! I kept the rose simple…just stamped off with Real Red to get a two-tone look.
Here are the details:
- The base card is 4 1/4 x 11 of Pool Party, folded in half.
- I ran a 3 3/4 x 5 piece of Whisper White thru the Big Shot with the Honeycomb Embossing Folders.
- I cut a 2 x 4 1/2 piece of Sent with Love Designer Paper and offset towards the right side.
- I cut a small 1/2" x 3" strip of Real Red cardstock with the Finishing Touches Edgelit and tucked it under the right top side of the Designer Paper towards the top. I also cut a 3/4" strip of Real Red for the Sweet Essentials greeting.
- I stamped off the solid rose image from Stippled Blossoms with Real Red ink, then stamped it full strength with the outline image. I did the same with the leaves and Pool Party ink. The rose and leaves were placed on the front with Stampin' Dimensionals.
- Finally, I added two pearls as accents and to fill the space a little on the Designer Paper.
I like the "trellis on trellis" look with the Honeycomb folder combined with the print from the Sent with Love Designer Paper!

Simply gorgeous! I love this flower! And I love how you kept the colors very simple! Love it!
I am with you about the Pool Party and aren't you glad to have Soft Sky return? I am a total fan of your color palette and can't get enough of it. Awesome focal rose with a stamp set that I haven't seen in a while–thanks for bringing it front and center. Smiles, Eiizabeth
I am also super excited about Pool Party staying on (and Calypso Coral too). I love your color choices and I never would have thought to pair Pool Party with Real Red even tho I love both those colors. And they totally work together! Beautiful card, Connie!
Beautiful! Love how clean and simple it is. Very fresh!
I just love the combo of Real Red and Pool party! Wouldn't have thought of that! The card is beautiful!
I just love the red and pool party combination. That flower is so vivid and perfect!
Love how that Real Red flower just comes alive on that Pool Party! So pretty!
I'm really happy about Pool Party and Calypso Coral staying on; I've not gotten my fill of using either of them! I love your pairing of crisp and clean Pool Party with the rich and spicy Real Red.. Great combination for a beautiful card!
