Flowers Fair For A Fabulous Friend AYSI369

Today I'm sharing my design team card for our new challenge over at As you See It where it's time for a pretty colour challenge chosen by LeAnne:

I love these pretty pastels that LeAnne chose this week! I decided to create another card using my Flowers Fair stamp, using Amy's sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches for my layout - take a look:

Here's the low-down on today's card:

For today's card I coloured the Flowers Fair stamped florals with my Stampin' Blends in each of the challenge colours, then cropped a portion of it and framed with my Impressions Abloom Dies (the closest thing I have to an oval). I do love the detail on the frame piece, it's subtle but there. I ran my horizontal strip of Pretty In Pink cardstock through my Big Shot with the mini corrugated embossing folder for a little added texture and added a sentiment from the January Product of the Month stamp set, Fabulous Sayings:

I felt like my card needed something more, so before I glued it all together I added a sheet of retired Subtles DSP to my card base. The pattern is very subtle in Soft Sea Foam, but was just what I needed. A trio of Pool Party sequins and some baker's twine complete my card - which is my 'just add 2' for the ladies over at Just Add Ink too.

Here is the visual summary of the key products used on today's project for you to pin for easy reference:

Very pretty color palette, I will have to check out the new challenge. Love the colors with your sweet florals and I agree, that soft Sea Foam pattern in the background was just the perfect little subtle touch.

Wowza, this is just beautiful! Love the soft shading you achieved on these pretty flowers, and that oval die is a perfect way to make them stand out! Your background and embossed piece just add to its perfection!

Very pretty! I was so excited that this set arrived in time for me to make something for this week's challenge occupied me so much that I never even thought of the possibility that you'd use it too! Thankfully, we've still managed to be different! I like the corrugation on the horizontal and the soft patterning of the DSP.
