I used the Stampin’ Up! stamp set called Painted Petals to create my card to share with you today.

---

 

My card design was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches 180.

My design was also inspired by CAS-ual Fridays CFC138.

And the colors for my card were inspired by Pals Paper Arts 246.

I started by stamping the flower images from the Painted Petals stamp set in Pistachio Pudding and Crisp Cantaloupe inks across a Whisper White panel.  I inked the flower and stem images once and stamped them twice across the card front to create a little depth.

Then I stamped the sentiment from the Painted Petals stamp set in Crumb Cake ink over the flower images in the lower right corner.  I adhered the stamped panel to the top section of a panel of Crumb Cake card stock and I adhered a strip from the Stacked With Love DSP Stack to the lower section with SNAIL.

I used the scalloped oval from the Ovals Collection Framelits Dies to cut a small panel of Pistachio Pudding DSP from the All Abloom DSP Stack and I adhered it with SNAIL over the Crisp Cantaloupe DSP panel.

I adhered a strip of Crumb Cake card stock with SNAIL over the seam between the stamped panel and the DSP panel, then wrapped a strand of Pistachio Pudding Thick Baker’s Twine around the panel and tied a bow.  I adhered the layered panel to a Pistachio Pudding card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals to finish it.

I stamped the flower images from the Painted Petals stamp set again in Pistachio Pudding and Crisp Cantaloupe inks on a Whisper White panel inside the card and I adhered a strip from the All Abloom DSP Stack with SNAIL.

You can find a complete list of supplies, including card stock cuts, at the very bottom of this post.
