Polished Pink Posy

Hey y'all!  How's your Thursday going?  I just finished this little card in my craft room:


Having a hard time getting a true-to-life photo here because for once it's too SUNNY!  But cold, there's a possibility of snow for the next two days.  This was the best I could do, photo-wise.  It's a triple challenge card :) Let's start with the theme from Inspire. Create:



Which I paired with the colors from The Card Concept:


I'd say my card falls definitively in the clean & layered style:  clean lines, multiple layers, DSP/embellishments, but still keeping a fair amount of white space.  I loved the bold stripes from the inspiration pic along with the bright pink flower, so I used all the colors (Black, Polished Pink, Petal Pink, gold) plus a squee bit of Soft Sea Foam because my flower needed some leaves.

Finally, check out the Try Stamping on Tuesday sketch:


I let my stripey DSP stand in for the two different patterns on the sketch.  Happily I have some (I think retired?) gold glitter enamel dots that were perfect for the embellishment in the upper right corner.

Ryan's daycare is closing a little early today so I'm going to go try to get as much done as I can before I pick him up.  Have fun today, y'all!

Supplies, all SU!
Stamps:  Art Gallery
Ink:  Polished Pink, Soft Sea Foam
Paper:  Petal Pink, Thick Basic White, Pattern Party DSP, gold foil
Accessories:  Floral Gallery dies, Stitched So Sweetly dies, Dimensionals, Gold Glitter Enamel Dots

Gorgeous, Christy! This brush-stroke bloom is one of my all time favorites, and I love the layering you did with it too - so much dimension! This is a perfectly buttoned up card! Thanks so much for playing at TSOT!
