Pop of Petals | Aussies Who Love Stampin' Up! Challenge #027

Hi and thanks for visiting :)

The current fortnightly challenge over on the Aussies Who Love Stampin' Up! Facebook Group, started on Monday.... so you still have just over a week to participate.

Our latest challenge #AWLSU027 is a Colour Challenge.

Myself and the other group admins will share our creations to start off each challenge and hopefully help kick-start and inspire your creativity.

I felt I needed some layout inspiration/assistance, so I decided to take part in the latest Casing the Catty Challenge #222, which was to CASE any project in any of the recent Sale-A-Bration Catalogues.

I chose to CASE the layout of the below card, which can be found on page 2 of the 2nd Release Sale-A-Bration Catalogue

I finally broke out my Pop of Petals stamp set and coordinating punch for this challenge (they have been sitting patiently waiting to be used since I purchased them a little while ago). As usual I am wondering why I waited so long to ink up this set.

Anyway..... I started off by stamping the flower images in Highland Heather & Coastal Cabana ink on some Whisper White cardstock, Gorgeous Grape ink on Highland Heather cardstock and Bermuda Bay ink on Coastal Cabana cardstock and then punched them out using the coordinating Four Petal Flower punch.

The Whisper White panel in the middle was cut using the Rectangle Stitched Framelits and then run through my Big Shot using the Tufted Dynamic Embossing Folder.

I had a few too many flowers so I ended up making 2 cards.

The card above uses a sheet of Pacific Point striped DSP from the Brights 6x6 DSP pack as a layer on top of the Pacific Point card base and the below card doesn't have this extra layer so everything is attached to the Pacific Point card base.

I always need birthday cards so I decided to use a birthday sentiment on both cards. The sentiment comes from the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set and is stamped in either Gorgeous Grape ink on Highland Heather cardstock (above) or Bermuda Bay ink on Coastal Cabana cardstock (below). The sentiment pieces were cut out using an oval from the Stitched Shapes Framelits.

Thanks so much for your support and for visiting me today :)
