I used the Stampin’ Up! Blooms & Wishes stamp set to create my card for the Happy Stampers blog hop.  We’ve got a color challenge this week and this is what I made for it.  I borrowed a little inspiration from the Stampin’ Up! catalog for this one…the catalog has some fantastic projects in it!  🙂

Here are the colors that we’re using this week:

I started by cutting an oval with one of the Layering Ovals Framelits Dies in the center of a panel of DSP from the Playful Palette DSP Stack.  I placed the panel on the front of a Sweet Sugarplum card base and used it as a guide to stamp the sentiment from the Blooms & Wishes photopolymer stamp set in VersaMark Ink on the card base.  I removed the DSP panel, sprinkled the sentiment with Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat embossed it, then adhered the die cut DSP panel with Multipurpose Liquid Glue around the sentiment.

I stamped the flower images from the Blooms & Wishes stamp set in Blushing Bride, Sweet Sugar Plum and Emerald Envy inks (some stamped off once) over one corner of a Very Vanilla card stock panel.  Then I cut the center of the panel with the next size up Layering Ovals Framelits Die.

I ran SNAIL down the back of a strip of Blushing Bride 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon and adhered one end to the Very Vanilla card stock panel, scrunched it a little, then adhered the remainder around the edge of the panel.  I adhered the stamped panel to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals to finish it.

I stamped the flower images from the Blooms & Wishes stamp set in Blushing Bride, Sweet Sugarplum and Emerald Envy inks on a panel of Very Vanilla card stock inside the card.

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