Welcome to our blog hop! We have a fun sketch challenge today ands I’ve chosen to work with the new November ONLINE EXCLUSIVE suite of products called Brushed with Beauty. As a demonstrator I was able to purchase this early in a pre-order and I l-o-v-e it! The colors are really ‘up my alley’ so to speak. Yesterday I shared several links to cards I made with this suite of products. You can see that post here

And … today is hubby & my anniversary… of several/ many years. I am so blessed and thankful. So, today’s card is in celebration of that. ❤️

I started with a Very Vanilla card base and adhered this striped pattern (it’s the ‘b’side to the floral paper showing) directly to the base. I then cut a smaller piece of the same DSP (the ‘a’side) and adhered it to Very Vanilla just slightly larger. This was added to the front with dimensionals. Next I stamped the larger floral outline stamp in Calypso Coral on a scrap of Very Vanilla and colored it with Stampin’ Blends Bronze & Ivory. I die cut this and the detail die (this one is from the Vellum in the suite of products) and attached the two together with a glue dot in the center of the flower. I attached a Pearls of Beauty embellishment to the flower center in Calypso Coral and added it to the card front with liquid adhesive. I die cut two elements from the Words of Beauty Dies: the background layer in very Vanilla and the detail of the word in Petal Pink that had an adhesive sheet attached to it. After die cutting I put them together & added them to the card front with mini dimensionals. I added two more of the Pearls of Beauty in Calypso Coral.

For the inside… I was playing around with color for the flower… stamped the outline stamp on a Very Vanilla scrap in Calypso Coral but colored this one with Stampin’ Blends 1000 & 500. The 1000 is the pinkish color and the 500 is the soft shade of brown. After die cutting the flower & adhering it to a Very Vanilla insert, I added a single Pearls of Beauty embellishment in the Crumb Cake kind of color. The top sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso using the Words of Beauty stamp set. The lower sentiment is stamped in Petal Pink ink using the Sweetly Scripted stamp set.

Keeping this envelope really simple… another panel of the Brushed with Beauty DSP showcasing a Petal Pink coloring, was added to the flap and trimmed to fit. You can purchase these products from my online store – see the link below!
