This card was a special request for a retirement. My colleague wanted something with lots of flowers since her friend loves to garden, so I pulled out the Fresh Prints paper stack from the Occasions catalogue (which is gorgeous in person) and paired it with two retired SAB stamp sets that had the perfect sentiment and flower image in them. The card was almost entirely done with Stampin' Up! supplies, but I had those Prima flowers from a long time ago that were just the perfect shade of Pool Party and that were perfect for the "flowery" request. I also pulled out the Pool Party satin ribbon that was part of the SAB offering last year, and I added rhinestones and rhinestone brads in the center of flowers.
The sentiment was embossed with Pool Party Stampin' Emboss powder on Real Red cardstock and die-cut using the Ovals Collection Framelits dies. A matching Crumb Cake finishes off the set.
I have to say that this finished card really speaks to me. Because of the beautiful color combo, possibly?
