It's the time of the Stampin' Up! year when I start looking at all of my stamp sets and realize that I haven't used many of them nearly as much as I wanted to and that many will be on their way to retiring with the start of the new Annual catalog in early May. And that will begin the mix of old stamp set projects and designs made with brand new pre-order products. Be alert this week for the online store to update the Last Chance section with retiring products! The Wildflower Designs stamp set is one of those older stamp sets that's getting some love today.
I used the Tic Tac Toe challenge over at the Paper Players for my inspiration. My card hits the top across row with Flowers, Pink and Ribbon but it also uses the right down row with Ribbon, Green and sentiment.
I started with a Pretty in Pink card base then a layer of Wildflower Birthday DSP in a nice pink gingham pattern. A Soft Sea Foam band goes across the center and I colored a bit of white Frayed Grosgrain ribbon with my Soft Sea Foam Stampin' Blends marker to have it match.
Using the Spotlight on Nature dies I cut a circle out of watercolor paper and then embossed the flower from Wildflower Designs in gold. I used a water painter and ink pads to color the flower. A few leafy sprigs are cut from Soft Sea Foam card stock using the Textured Floral dies and are tucked behind the circle before adhering it with dimensionals.
The sentiment is embossed in gold on Pretty in Pink card stock. You can find this sentiment in the Storybook Friends stamp set.
A few Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins from Sale-a-Bration are added for a tiny bit of shine.
Thanks for looking! Did you stamp today?

So pretty! I just love pink and green together, and I REALLY love gingham, so this is extra-special in my book! Thanks for playing with my Tic-Tac-Toe challenge this week at the Players!
ReplyDeleteI love the pink gingham mixed with the light green! So Springy! The gold embossing is lovely! So happy you joined us at The Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty Amanda! I was put off by this set in the catalogue with the colours of the suite DSP; I love it in the pale pink and the sea foam green adds a lovely softness. Thanks for sharing with us over at The Paper Players this week!
