I have chosen to team Calypso Coral with one of the new In Colours, Soft Succulent and I think it goes together beautifully. I decided it was time to ink up the Flowers of Friendship stamp set which comes with a matching punch.
I have coloured the flowers using Calypso Corral and Soft Succulent blends and then die cut the Basic White cardstock using one of the Ornate Layers dies. The DSP in the background is from the You're a Peach pack and I have embossed it using the Ornate Floral 3D folder.
The sentiment is from the Celebrate with Flowers stamp set and it is nice to have a vertical greeting for a change. This has been die cut using one of the Stitched Rectangle dies. Then for a bit of added interest I have added a bow using the Soft Succulent Open Weave ribbon and a few of the Artistry Blooms sequins.

Theresa, such an elegant and beautiful card. This vertical stamp looks amazing and I really like the Soft Succulent with the Calypso Coral.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty colour combination! I love how you've coloured those sweet flowers, and used the awesome vertical sentiment (one of my faves). Beautiful card, T. x
ReplyDeleteA very lovely card Theresa. I particularly like the way you embossed the dsp. It really adds some lovely texture and interest.
ReplyDeleteReally love your card Theresa and the embossing on the DSP is just perfect. Love the soft succulent with Calypso Coral I think it was the absolute perfect green to chose!
ReplyDeleteYour card is so pretty and feminine with the ink colours used in your card Theresa. I think the Soft Succulent softens the Calypso Coral and I love the embossed DSP.
ReplyDeleteGreat layout and love the vertical sentiment (I hadn't even noticed that in the catalogue). Your embossed DSP adds a lovely touch, as does the gorgeous bow!
ReplyDeleteTheresa, this is gorgeous. I love the white space surrounding the sentiment and flowers. Such a pretty colour combination.
ReplyDeleteGreat fun idea to emboss the patterned paper, it really sets off the flower.
ReplyDeleteI like that you have raised up the top layer of the flower petals. It finishes off the card perfectly.
