It’s Thursday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends challenge!  We have a fun sketch for you this week!

FRAGRANT FLOWERS

I think this DSP is so pretty and I really haven’t used it much!  So, that is how I started my card.  I pulled the rest of the design from these colors and prints!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Crumb Cake cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • A 1-1/4 x 5-1/2 strip of the floral Delicate Dreams DSP was added on the left side.
  • A 3 x 5-1/2 piece of checked Delicate Dreams DSP was added on the right side.
  • A 1/4 x 5-1/2 strip of Mossy Meadow cardstock hides the seam.
  • The 3 x 3 square of Misty Moonlight cardstock was adhere at an angle on the front.
  • The Fragrant Flowers greeting was stamped at the bottom of a 2-3/4 x 2-3/4 square of Basic White cardstock with Misty Moonlight Ink.
  • Three flowers were cut with the Fragrant Flowers Die from Misty Moonlight cardstock, the cluster of flowers from Crumb Cake cardstock and the leaves from Mossy Meadow cardstock and assembled on the front.  They were added with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Some Linen Thread was tied in a bow and tucked along one of the flowers.
  • Three white Pearls of Beauty were added to the center of the flowers.

It’s Thursday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends challenge!  We have a pretty color combination today!

FRAGRANT FLOWERS

I was happy with how the light and dark colors played out on today’s card using Fragrant Flowers!  The two-step stamping made it SO easy!  The Blackberry Bliss really pulls out the purple undertones in the Cloud Cover color!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Cloud Cover cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White was stamped with Memento Black Ink in the lower right corner and a portion in the upper right corner.
  • The flower petals were stamped with Cloud Cover Ink, the centers with Blackberry Bliss Ink and the leaves with Old Olive Ink.
  • The greeting was stamped with Blackberry Bliss Ink on Cloud Cover cardstock and cut with the label Die.  Another label die was cut from Blackberry Bliss.  They were placed together and adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals on the front.
  • The Old Olive Rick Rack Ribbon naturally curls, so I cut about 8″ and tied a knot, then let it curl and added it with a couple Mini Glue Dots on the side of the label.
  • A trio of Moody Palette Dots were added to the background.

You could whip out a bunch of these in different colors pretty quickly!  OK, check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Stamping Friends.
