It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Connie and Mary Blog Hop. This week our theme is “Pick Me Up”.  We are creating thinking of you, get well…or other encouragement type cards this week!  I think the Painted Lavender Bundle is one of the prettiest in the mini catalog!  I’ve used it with the greeting from Softly Sophisticated Set (SAB Level 2).

PAINTED LAVENDER

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Highland Heather cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
• The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Lost Lagoon is embossed with the Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder (SAB Level 2 Bundle).  It was added to the front.
• The medallion from Thoughtful Expressions Dies was cut from Highland Heather cardstock and added to the front.
• On Basic White, the branch was stamped with Lost Lagoon, the large lavender bush with Gorgeous Grape, the smaller bush twice side-by-side with Fresh Freesia Ink and overtop wwith Gorgeous Grape Ink.  All were cut with the dies.
• The other branch leaf was cut with the Dies from Lost Lagoon cardstock.  It was cut in half and added between the layers of lavender, then the entire bunch assembled and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• The greeting from Softly Sophisticated (SAB Level 2) was stamped with Gorgeous Grape Ink on Basic White and cut with the label from Thoughtful Expressions Dies.  It was added to the medallion.
• A couple of Purple Fine Shimmer Gems were added to the background and one to the front flower.

 

 

So pretty…and the best part is that I used up some of the “starts” on my desk!  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!
