It’s Thursday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends challenge! This week is a fun soft color combination! We hope you play along!

THANKFUL GARDEN
Thankful Garden is one of the NEW Online Exclusives now available for everyone to order on March 4th! It’s so easy to color but also looks nice stamped monochromatic! I just did some light water coloring with a little different cut card base!

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 9-1/2 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded so the short end is on the front.
- The Thankful Graden greeting was stamped with Memento Black Ink towards the left on the front flap.
- I used the Peach Pie Marker and a Watercolor Painter to color a light background on the front flap towards the right side.
- The hydrangea from Thankful Garden was stamped with Memento Black Ink on scrap Basic White cardstock and colored with Pool Party, Old Olive and Peach Pie Stampin’ Blends. It was cut with the Thankful Garden Die and added to the front flap with Stampin’ Dimensionals over the watercolor background.

- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Peach Pie Unbounded Beauty DSP was added inside the base card.
- The three-leaf cluster was cut with the die from Old Olive cardstock and adhered inside over the DSP with Stampin’ Dimensionals so that it partially peeks through the front under the hydrangea.
- A portion of the Hydrangea was stamped and colored again the same as above and the small floral die used to cut away a portion, then adhered next to the leaf cluster inside.
- A trio of Party Dots were added to the background.
- Some beige Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack was tied in a bow and added to the stem.
