I used the Stampin’ Up! Dear Doily stamp set and the Forever Lovely stamp set bundle to create my card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We’ve got a color challenge this week and here is what I created for it.
Here are the colors that we’re using this week:
The design for my card was inspired by As You See It #191.
My card also works for The Card Concept #106. I’d say that my card fits with clean and layered.
I started by adhering a panel from the All My Love DSP to a panel of Lovely Lipstick card stock with SNAIL and then to a Flirty Flamingo card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered a strand of Flirty Flamingo ribbon from the All My Love Ribbon Combo Pack with SNAIL in a “z” to the card front.
I stamped the sentiment from the Dear Doily stamp set in Lovely Lipstick ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock and then cut it out with a Layering Circles Framelits Die. I adhered the die cut circle with SNAIL to a scalloped circle cut from Lovely Lipstick card stock with another Layering Circles Framelits die cut. I adhered the layered circles to the card front with Stampin Dimensionals over the ribbon.
I stamped the leaves from the Forever Lovely stamp set in Soft Sea Foam ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock and cut them out with the Lovely Flowers Edgelits Dies. I cut panels of Sahara Sand and Flirty Flamingo card stock with dies from the Lovely Flowers Edgelits Dies and then used a Sponge Dauber to add a little Lovely Lipstick ink to the flowers. I adhered the die cut flower pieces to the card front with Glue Dots and then added silver pearls from the Metallic Pearls pack to finish it.
I stamped the sentiment from the Dear Doily stamp set in Lovely Lipstick ink and the leaves from the Forever Lovely stamp set in Soft Sea Foam ink on a panel fo Whisper White card stock. I stamped the flower from the Forever Lovely stamp set in Flirty Flamingo ink on a separate panel of Whisper White card stock and cut it out with the coordinating Lovely Flowers Edgelits Die. I adhered the flower to the panel with SNAIL to finish the inside of the card.

Thanks Linda! 🙂
Amy I’m lovin’ the wAy you used the dsp and didn’t “crowd” the design further, but put all your emphasis around the white circle, to calm the lovely-but-busy paper. And those tiny colored flowers, perfect! The Sahara sand is so necessary to add a neutral and anchor the card a bit. Thankyou for a wonderful layout! Grace
Thank you Grace! 🙂
Such a beautiful card
Thanks Janet! 🙂
Great colour challenge and those colours are just perfect for the pretty papers that are part of Forever Lovely. It’s a great interpretation of the sketch and I love that pretty little cluster of bits from suite as well. Thank you for joining us again at As You See It.

That paper is just lovely and creates such a delicate looking card. The tiny flowers just add to the fragile look which creates a focus for the bold sentiment! Thanks for playing along again at As You See It Challenge!
