It’s Thursday and you know what that means!  It’s time for the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge  This time it is a pretty color combination.

I knew right away that I wanted to use a flower set…but which one?  I pulled out my Band Together Bundle because I hadn’t used it yet!  I think it worked perfectly!

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Gorgeous Grape cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
• On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Whisper White cardstock.
• Across the center is a 2-3/4 x 5-1/4 strip of Woven Threads Designer Paper.
• The filigree band is cut with the Detailed Bands Die from Gorgeous Grape cardstock and placed in the background towards the left side.
• The large flower and two leaf clusters were stamped with Memento Black Ink and colored with the Purple Posy and Pretty Peacock Light and Dark Blends.  They were cut with the Detailed Bands die and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• Just the center of another Detailed Band was cut from Whisper White cardstock, then stamped with the greeting in Gorgeous Grape Ink.  It is also popped up and tucked under the flowers with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• A trio of Peacock Rhinestones was added to the background.
