I used the Stampin’ Up! Picture Perfect stamp set from the upcoming 2016 Occasions Catalog to create my card to share today.  I saw this card on Pinterest and loved the colors, so I thought that I’d recreate it with Stampin’ Up! materials.

My card design was inspired by Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #299.

My card design was also loosely inspired by Global Design Project GDP#016.  I used the circular element and the shades of blue on my card.

I started by adhering a panel of Early Espresso card stock to Crumb Cake card base with SNAIL.  I punched the ends of So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie and Pool Party card stock panels with the Banner Triple Punch and adhered them to the card front with SNAIL as well.

I stamped the woodgrain image from the Timeless Textures stamp set (available Jan 5) several times on a panel of Pool Party card stock in Pool Party ink.  I used a Circles Collection Framelits die to cut a circle from the stamped panel, then I adhered it to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the starfish images from the Picture Perfect photopolymer stamp set (available Jan 5) in So Saffron and Pumpkin Pie inks on a panel of Whisper White card stock.  I snipped around the image, sponged over it with a little more So Saffron ink, looped some Linen Thread and adhered it to the back of the image with Glue Dots.  I adhered the stamped image to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Picture Perfect stamp set in Early Espresso ink on a strip of Whisper White card stock, then I stamped the woodgrain image from the Timeless Textures stamp set over it in So Saffron ink.  I punched the end of the strip with the Banner Triple Punch, wrapped a strand of Linen Thread around the opposite end and adhered it with a Glue Dot under the starfish image.

I stamped the starfish images from the Picture Perfect stamp set again in So Saffron and Pumpkin Pie inks on a Whisper White panel.  I added a little Pool Party ink over the starfish with the Timeless Textures image, then adhered it to the inside of the card.
