Wild About Flowers Sweet Sunday Sketch 283

Hello Friends! I’m popping in today to share an adorable sketch challenge I found this Sunday…

SSSC283Isn’t it fabulous?? I knew right away which stamp set I wanted to use…Wild About Flowers by Stampin’ Up! And here it my card:)

I just recently caved and purchased this Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up!. I have been on a self imposed moratorium on purchasing 12 x 12 paper because I feel that most of the designs are too large  for a card. But I saw so many samples with this lovely paper that I finally ordered it…I know, I’m easily enabled!

But isn’t it ca-yoot?? The colors in this paper are supposed to be Melon Mambo, Blushing Bride, Old Olive and Mossy Meadow. Sometimes though, Stampin’ Up! does shades of a color rather than use it at 100%. I didn’t think it looked like Melon Mambo so I pulled out the retired color Primrose Petals and was happy as can be with that match.

Wild About Flowers Sweet Sunday Sketch 283I adore how the font on the sentiment really pairs well with the flower images, and sentiments such as this one are hard to come by so I will keep this set indefinitely!! Can you just barely see the shimmer on the flowers?? So pretty!

Thank you so much for popping in, or for being a subscriber, I appreciate you!!

Wishing you joy and blessings!

    This is really lovely! With perfect color. Such a nice creation from the sketch. I know what you mean about 12×12 sheets, but at the scrapbook store I fall in love! 🙂
