Welcome to Create with Connie and Mary’s Creatively Simple Challenge! Each month Mary and I will pick a theme…this month it is “FLOWERS”, and we each create a simple card every Tuesday using that theme!
Most of you know that I love flower stamps! Cottage Rose in the new Annual Catalog is such a pretty set that I couldn’t wait to use it!
COTTAGE ROSE
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Soft Sea Foam cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White was scored three times along the right side at 3/4, 1 and 1-1/4. The greeting was stamped with Memento Black Ink.
- The flower and leaves were stamped with Memento Black on Basic White cardstock and colored with Pale Papaya Combo, Pumpkin Pie Combo, Dark Daffodil Delight, Soft Sea Foam Combo and Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blends. They were cut with the Cottage Flowers Dies and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A trio of Papaya In Color Opal Rounds were added to the background.
