Secret Garden – Thinking of You

A bit more creativity for this Sunday…

Playing with Inkspirational (#340) for a Spring Seasonal card showcasing the Color Thrown (#831) Palette with the Freshly Made (#683) Sketch.

Here is the result:

SECRET GARDEN PAPER PACKET – SIMPLY ZINNIA – IC340 – CTD831 – FMS683

Steps:

  • Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Calypso Coral cardstock.
  • Background Panel: (4¼” x 5½”) Basic White cardstock die-cut with the (3⅞” x 5¼”) Stitched Rectangle die from the Textured Notes Dies set, an On-Line Exclusive product.
    • The sentiment, Sending flowers and thinking of you, from the retired Simply Zinnia stamp set was stamped with Calypso Coral ink.
  • Center Block: (2¾” x 4¼”) Pear Pizzazz cardstock, retired and still in my bin, die-cut with the Trellis die from the Linked Together Dies set, still available but on the Last Chance List.
  • Bottom Block Pattern: (2½” x 2”) Daffodil Delight and Basic White Gingham patterned piece of paper from the Floral Delight Designer Series Paper pack.
  • Decoration – Flower Spray: Fussy-cut Flower clipped with Paper Snips from the Yellow and White Floral patterned piece of paper from the retired CTMH Secret Garden Paper Packet.
    • The little White Flowers were colored with the Light and Dark Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends Markers.

All elements were adhered to the card base to resemble the sketch which I flipped to the vertical position to better showcase the Trellis.  The Flower Spray was popped up with Dimensionals.

Seasonally Spring and perfect for Mother’s Day.
