I used the Stampin’ Up! Botanical Blooms stamp set and Botanical Builders Framelits Dies to create my card for the Happy Stampers blog hop. We’ve got a color challenge to play along with this week and this is what I created:
Here are the colors that we’re using this week:
I originally made this card for the sketch challenge that I posted yesterday (you can see that card here) but realized as I was looking ahead at projects for the following day that I’d used this color scheme! 🙂
I adhered a panel from the Birthday Bouquet DSP to a panel of Watermelon Wonder card stock with SNAIL, then to a Mossy Meadow card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I cut the sentiment from Gold Foil Sheets with the Hello You Thinlits Dies and I adhered it to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Then I cut the leaves from Mossy Meadow card stock and the flowers from Watermelon Wonder, Blushing Bride and Daffodil Delight card stocks with the Botanical Builder Framelits Dies.
I sponged a little Watermelon Wonder ink on the larger flower and on the Daffodil Delight flower center with a Sponge Dauber, then adhered the flowers to the card front with Glue Dots. I added a single Pearl Basic Jewel to the center of the smaller flowers to finish the card front.
I stamped the flower images from the Botanical Blooms photopolymer stamp set in Watermelon Wonder, Blushing Bride Daffodil Delight and Mossy Meadow inks on a panel of Whisper White card stock inside the card.

Beautiful card, Amy – love the Botanical Blooms you built! 🙂

Amy this is so pretty! That gold foil looks so nice with those colors.

Love how you sponged the flower-makes it look real. Absolutely lovely!
Thanks Jari! 🙂
Another wonderful card Amy. I love the elegant simplicity, and that gold foil sentiment just pops.
Thanks so much Kristi! 🙂
I agree with everyone above 🙂 The flowers with those cute pearls, tucked underneath the big one, is a fantastic finishing detail. I also love your sponging on the center of the big flower! I learned that from you and it really makes a gorgeous flower, thanks 😉
Thanks Jill! I wish that I could say that the flower sponging was my idea…I borrowed it from somewhere else. Thank goodness for Pinterest! 🙂
The arrangement and color coordination is very attractive. I hope see some of your watercolor skills down the road. Great card!
Thanks Brent! I’m sure that I’ll be pulling out my watercolor brushes again soon. 🙂
You really brought it today… love the simplicity and the fabulous flowers!!!
Thanks Shelagh! 🙂
