Bouquet of Hope – Hello

Hard to believe that I actually got this week’s Sunday Sketch – SS043 completed for this Sunday!

I chose the color scheme from this week’s Color Throwdown Challenge – CTD631 and altered the sketch slightly to fit the trendy Slimline card size as suggested by the design team over at The Spot Challenge – #151

Here is what I created:

I chose to stamp the floral bouquet image from the current (February 2021) Paper Pumpkin Kit – Bouquet of Hope onto a piece of Designer Series Paper (retired 12 x 12 Stack in Blushing Bride).

The bouquet was colored with a variety of Stampin’ Blends.  The colors chosen approximated the Turquoise, Pink, Rust and Magenta colors.  Turquoise – Just Jade, Pink – Petal Pink, Rust – Dark Calypso, and Magenta – Magenta Madness.

To match the sketch, the stamped colored image was die-cut with the (2⅛” x 3”) Layering Oval Die and framed with a Terracotta Tile cardstock (2⅜” x 3¼”) die-cut Stitched Shapes Die Oval.  The ovals are smaller than those suggested by the sketch because I changed the standard A2 card size from (4¼” x 5½”) to Slimline size (3½” x 6”).

The sentiment, Hello, from the stamp set Grace’s Garden was stamped with Versamark ink and heat set embossed with White Embossing Powder onto a Just Jade cardstock Banner (½” x 2½”).  I tucked the banner behind the framed oval so as to not cover the bottom of the floral bouquet.

The banner is adorned with a 3D flower.  I stamped a portion of the floral bouquet stamp onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock and colored two of the blossoms which I then fussy cut and stacked them together.

To complete the card, I added a Basic White cardstock panel (3” x 5½”) which was dry embossed with one of the Wrapped in Texture Embossing Folders for added dimension.  All the elements were then assembled onto a Blushing Bride card base.

I like to try and use my Paper Pumpkin kit stamps on alternative projects and I think the Bouquet of Hope works very nicely in an Oval Frame.
