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

SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL

These large flowers in Simply Beautiful Bundle make it so easy to create pretty cards!  I used this color combo in a non-traditional way…no green on here that I’d usually use for the leaves!

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Crumb Cake cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
• A 3-3/4 x 5 layer of Lovely & Beautiful Designer Paper was added on top.
• The large flower was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Peach Pie cardstock and brushed with Peach Pie Ink in the center.  It was cut with the Die and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• Two single leaves were stamped with Memento Black Ink on Crumb Cake cardstock and cut with the Die, then brushed with Crumb Cake Ink.  They were added next to the flower with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• Two leaf branches were stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock and colored with Peach Pie and Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends.  They were cut with the Die and tucked beside the leaves.
• The greeting from Simply Beautiful was stamped with Balmy Blue Ink on 3/4 x 3 Basic White cardstock and the end cut at an angle.  It was adhered with a Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• A trio of Pearlized Faceted Circles were added to the background.

I think this color combo worked on this card, don’t you?  OK, check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Stamping Friends.
