We had quite an unexpected storm Tuesday night – lots of lightening way too close & thunder of course. I love the roll of thunder, but did I mention the lightening was close?! Today is Thursday – Welcome to our hop! We have a color challenge today & I chose to work with the luscious Velvet Meadow Specialty DSP. It’s garden fresh 😀

The Velvet Meadow Specialty DSP is so wonderful, it deserves to be center stage. I backed it with a panel of Peaceful Pine then added those with dimensionals to the Berry Burst card base. I made a few die cuts for flowers (Basic White, & Berry Burst) then a stem from Peaceful Pine (it’s hard to see!), then stamped flower centers in Daffodil delight & die cut those. Once the centers were on the flowers I used the White Gel Pen to add some dots for texture emphasis. Flowers were added with dimensionals. I tied a double loop bow from Linen thread & added it to the back of the stamped sentiment punched with the triple punch (ink is Berry Burst & from the Flowering Meadow stamp set). The sentiment was also added with dimensionals. Final touch… Charming Shimmer Faceted Gems – an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE.

For the inside… the sentiment is again from Flowering Meadow stamp set, stamped in Peaceful Pine on a Basic White panel. The flowers are stamped-off once Berry Burst, flower centers Daffodil Delight – and again using the White Gel Pen to add highlights. The panel was added to Peaceful Pine then attached to the inside of the card.

For the envelope… more of the Velvet Meadow SDSP adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front, a leaf image stamped three times without re-inking.
