It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge.   It’s a pretty color challenge this week.

DETAILED DOGWOOD

I’m using this Sale-A-Bration stamp set again!  I’ve had it on my desk and I keep coming up with different ideas using it!  These flowers can be punched with the Annual Catalog Petal Park Builder Punch!  Made it easy to create this bouquet!

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
• A 1-1/2 x 4 piece of Masterfully Made Designer Paper was torn diagonally and then adhered to a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Petal Pink cardstock.
• Some Linen Thread was wrapped around the Petal Pink c/s and tied in a bow along the DSP.
• The Deckle Circle was cut with the Die from Basic White cardstock and stamped the leaf branches three times with Pretty Peacock Ink.
• The flowers were stamped four times with Petal Pink Ink and four times with Moody Mauve Ink on Basic White cardstock, then punched with the Petal Park Builder Punch and added to the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• The small Petal Pink and Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems were added to the centers of the flowers.
• For You from Heartfelt Hexagon was stamped with Pretty Peacock Ink on a 1/2 x 2 piece of Basic White, cut a flag end, and added to the bouquet.

I was surprised how much I liked these colors together…not ones I would have chosen on my own!  OK, go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary
