I used the Stampin’ Up! Graceful Garden stamp set and a little of the Petal Garden DSP to create my card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop today.  We’ve got a color challenge this week and this is what I created for it.

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

I started by adhering two panels from the Petal Garden DSP Stack slightly off-set on a Calypso Coral card base with SNAIL.  Then I punched the end of a strip of White Vellum with the Banner Triple Punch and embossed it with the Garden Trellis Embossing Folder.  I adhered the vellum to the card front with SNAIL (hidden under the sentiment area).

I stamped the sentiment from the Graceful Garden stamp set in Old Olive ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock and then punched it out with the 2″ Circle Punch.  I adhered a strand of Calypso Coral 1/8″ Sheer Ribbon with Glue Dots to the back of the Circle Punch, then I adhered the circle to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added a Calypso Coral enamel dot from the Subtles Enamel Shapes pack next to the sentiment and two Rhinestone Basic Jewels to finish the card front.

I stamped the trellis and branch image from the Graceful Garden stamp set in Pool Party and Old Olive inks on a Whisper White panel inside the card.
