Welcome! We have a color challenge today for this fun hop. I like what I created but admit it was a challenge. I couldn’t figure out what I wanted to do 🥴

I chose to use Pretty Peacock for my card base 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. I then added Basic Beige 4 x 5 1/4 and an embossed layer of Pretty Peacock 3 7/8 x 5 1/8. The embossing folder used is the Softly Woven embossing folder. I added a Garden Green strip 1 1/8 x 5 1/8. I used the retiring Creative Haven dies to create the leaf die cuts & the banner: Basic Beige, Shaded Spruce & Garden Green. I addeds a bit of Shaded Spruce ink to the edges of the Garden Green leaves with a sponge dauber. They were attached with liquid adhesive directly to the banner with a double Linen Thread ribbon attached with a glue dot. The banner was added to the card front with dimensionals. I used the smallest of the ovals in the Arched Oval dies for the Basic Beige sentiment background. The Shaded Spruce sentiment piece I fussy cut. It was stamped with a sentiment from Delicate Whispers stamp set: VersaMark ink then sprinkled with WOW! Metallic embossing powder in silver & heat set. I added it to the Basic Beige die cut & attached this with dimensionals on the right end & liquid glue on the rounded edge. Final touch – three Pearl Adhesive-Backed Dots – a November ONLINE EXCLUSIVE.

For the inside… I used the Creative Haven stamp set & Pretty Peacock ink to stamp the sentiment on a Basic Beige panel 4 x 5 1/4. I added an embossed strip at the bottom that was left over from the card front. And bingo – the card was complete. This could easily be a masculine card & I didn’t set out to make it that way! WooHoo! And there you have it.
