Amazing Day
The card for today’s blog post features the Incredible Like You stamp set and the beautiful Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up!
Of course, it all begins with an As You See it Challenge!
Poppy Parade was the deciding factor for choosing which Designer Series Paper I would use for this card. I discovered that the Petal Promenade DSP has a splash of Poppy Parade colour in the occasional flower. Perfect! I used the neutral Gray Granite cardstock for the base of my card, then used a matte of Whisper White cardstock behind the layer of Petal Promenade patterned paper. You will see the added detail on the bottom right corner of each of these layers where I used the corner rounding side of the Detailed Trio Punch. A simple, but effective way to make a card a little bit different from the rest!
For my stripes, the Petal Pink/Whisper White 5/8″ Variegated Ribbon (wow, now that is a bit of a mouthful!), is added across the designer series paper in three rows, attached to the back of the paper with Tear & Tape. Layered over that is a piece of Basic Black cardstock, die cut using the Big Shot and a die from the Wonderful Floral Framelits Dies. I added some Vellum Cardstock leaves, punched out using the Leaf Punch. I also added some Lemon Lime Twist leaves, die cut using another die from the Wonderful Floral Framelits Dies, but I cut off two of the top leaves to create a floral stem for the large poppy/peony flower. The flowers were stamped with Poppy Parade ink on the Petal Pink cardstock using the Incredible Like You stamp set. These were the cut out part of my challenge as I fussy cut them and adhered them to my card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I also added a spray of the beautiful Whisper White 5/8″ Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon to my little bouquet.
The sentiment from the Incredible Like You set is stamped on Whisper White cardstock with Tuxedo Black Momento ink. I flagged the end of the strip of Whisper White and tied my bow around the un-flagged end. This was attached to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The final touch was to add a few Gingham Gala Adhesive-Backed Sequins for a little bit of sparkle.
