Happy Thursday! It’s time for another Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge, this time a pretty color combination!

IN BLOOM BUNDLE
Although I used the In Bloom flower bundle, I combined with the Sea & Sand Designer Paper for a soft, pastel look! I love this type of fun fold, too!


Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 9, scored at 5-1/2 and folded with the shorter flap on front.
- The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Whisper White was embossed with the Painted Texture Embossing Folder and added to the inside.
- A 3 x 4 piece of Sand & Sea Designer Paper was wrapped with the Seaside Spray Metallic Ribbon and tied in a knot. It was added to the front shorter flap.
- The largest circle from Layering Circles Dies was cut from Basic White cardstock and stamped with the greeting from In Bloom stamp set in Memento Black Ink. It was layered on the largest scallop circle from Layering Circles Dies, cut from Seaside Spray cardstock. Then it was added half way on the front of the shorter flap.
- Using the Pierced Blooms Dies, the leaf vine was cut from Seaside Spray c/s, the larger flower from Flirty Flamingo c/s, the smaller flower and center flower from So Saffron c/s, the center flowers from Seaside Spray c/s. They were adhered together and added to the bottom of the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A trio of Opal Rounds were added in the centers and background.

I’m not normally a butterfly person, but I do love this paper! Go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this sketch over on Create with Connie and Mary!
