This week's challenge at the Create with Connie and Mary blog is a sketch challenge. They always have fun sketches and color combinations to inspire us. You should check out the challenge and play along.
I created a simple card using the Lullaby Designer Series Paper and retiring (boo!) 2013-15 In Colors. I started with a Coastal Cabana card base. I added the strips from the Lullaby DSP according to the sketch and then added a Pistachio Pudding mat that I embossed with the Large Polka Dot Embossing Folder.
Next I stamped two flowers from the Petal Potpourri set--one in Crisp Cantaloupe and one in Hello Honey--onto Whisper White card stock. I punched out the flowers with the coordinating Flower Medallion punch. I adhered the flowers using Stampin' Dimensionals.
Finally I stamped a sentiment from the "And Many More" stamp set in Coastal Cabana on Whisper White. I cut this out with the Large Oval Punch and then cut another larger oval from Coastal Cabana with the Extra Large Oval Punch. I mounted this onto the card with Stampin' Dimensionals, too!
Quick and easy and I love these colors together. I'm gonna miss the retiring In Colors!
