It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge. Another great sketch this week to inspire you!

PETAL PARK

I decided to flip the sketch this week! The images I wanted to use just seemed to work out better that way.

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Fresh Freesia cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
A 3 x 4 piece of Fancy Flora Designer Paper was added across the front towards the left side.
The Basic White piece was cut with the Radiating Stitches Dies, then stamped with the leaves in Evening Evergreen Ink for the outline and insides with Soft Succulent Ink. It was adhered to the front.
A 1/4 x 5 strip of Orchid Oasis cardstock was added down the left side.
The flowers were stamped with Orchid Oasis Ink for the outline and insides with Fresh Freesia Ink on scrap Basic White cardstock. They were punched with the Petal Park Punch and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Some In Color Matte Dots were added to the centers of the flowers.
The greeting from Irresistible Blooms was stamped with Orchid Oasis Ink on scrap Basic White cardstock, then hand-cut around the letters and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge. This week is a fun sketch challenge!

PETAL PARK

I just received my Petal Park Bundle and had to use it right away! I didn’t really think I needed another flower set, but the punch makes this SO easy and there is some coordinating DSP that you can punch out! I didn’t use that DSP, I combined it with the Flowers & More Designer Paper that is a host option. I LOVE how much DSP you get in this package! Great for doing large classes! This one has nice BRIGHT colors in it!

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Parakeet Party cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Tahitian TIde is added on top.
a 1 x 5 piece of Mango Melody cardstock was added across the front with a 1/4 x 4-3/4 strip of Melon Mambo added on top.
Two patterns of Flowers & More DSP were cut to 3 x 4 size and added to the front at angles.
The tag is 1-3/4 x 2-1/2 of Basic White cardstock and cut to a point. The greeting from Beautifully Happy (SAB) is stamped with Melon Mambo Ink. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The flower trio from Petal Park stamp set was stamped with Melon Mambo for the outline and Mango Melody for the inside coloring. It was punched with the Petal Park Punch then added to the tag.
Five leaves were stamped with Shaded Spruce Ink on Parakeet Party cardstock, then punched with the Petal Park Punch. They were tucked under the flowers.
Some blue Glossy Dots were added in the center of the flowers for a little bling!

This has almost a tropical feel, doesn’t it? Love how it turned out! Go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary
