Garden In Bloom Friends Card

by Joanne James24. September 2015 08:05

Today it's time for a new challenge over at Create With Connie and Mary and this week we have a great colour challenge for you:

 

These colours have a real ombre feel to them and I decided to go with something pretty and floral today using the 'Garden in Bloom' stamp set. Here's my card: 

 

 

I used a Very Vanilla base and a mat of Calypso Coral to set off my Pretty Petals striped DSP. I punched a 2" wide banner of Blushing Bride with my Triple Banner Punch and overlaid this with a piece of Very Vanilla satin ribbon, then for my focal panel I stamped the sentiment and flower outlines in Watermelon Wonder and 'coloured' them in with the other two challenge colours. I love this stamp set and in photopolymer, it makes light work of two-step stamping for sure!

Do visit the other Design Team members to see how they used this week's challenge colours; there's lots of inspiration over on their blogs too!

Enjoy your day and I'll be back tomorrow with another project; until then, happy stampin'!

The Garden in Bloom flowers are beautiful in these colors and they look fabulous against the stripped dsp background paper!  The satin ribbon adds just a touch of elegance as well!

Wow, those flowers look so great in these colors - and truly monochromatic with their outlines stamped in Watermelon Wonder.  Really great choice of dsp and stamps, and lovely layout!

I really like the way you added the banner and ribbon between the stamped focal point and the horizontal stripes. It's a great way to separate the two!

Your combination of stripes with the flowers is so attractive!  I love how you stamped and colored the flower panel and placed the banner and ribbon behind it!  What a wonderful card to be enjoyed by a friend!
