Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges.  This week’s inspiration is a paint color palette!

LILY OF THE VALLEY

I used the colors in this photo for today’s card!  The blues, greens and purples reminded me of lily of the valley!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Gorgeous Grape cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Hydrangea Hue cardstock was added on top.
  • The 1-1/4 x 5-1/4 strip of 2026-28 In Color Patterns DSP was added to the right side.
  • The Everyday Arches was cut from Basic White cardstock using the die.  The center was brushed with Old Olive Ink and then stamped with the greeting in Gorgeous Grape Ink.
  • The grid pattern was cut with the Die from Gorgeous Grape cardstock ad adhered along the bottom of the arch.
  • The stem of the lily was cut from Peaceful Pine cardstock and the blossoms from Hydrangea Hue.  The blossoms were brushed with Gorgeous Grape Ink along the bottom. They were adhered together.  Set aside.
  • The leaves outlines were stamped with Peaceful Pine Ink and the insides with Old Olive and stamped off Old Olive Inks.  They were cut with the dies and adhered to the arch.  The lily was tucked inside.
  • Some Linen Thread was tied in a bow and added to the base of the flower with a Mini Glue Dot.
  • A trio of Antique Pearls were added to the background.
