Happy Happy 2024!!! Here we are in a new year. Did you make or are you in the process of making resolutions? I was talking with someone the other day and the topic was really about facing a topic and asking ourselves, ‘why are we afraid of it’ (whatever that is?)” And how, if we break it down, take it apart, it’s easier to face or do. First we name it, then ask the question, then break it down. The unknown can be so hard to face. Gosh, I got all philosophical… go figure… enuf of that. Let’s play with paper & create.

I began by stamping this beautiful rose bouquet in Basic Gray ink from Stippled Roses stamp set and coloring it with Stampin’ Blends: Light Calypso Coral, Light Sweet Sorbet and Old Olive for the leaves. I die cut it with the coordinating Stippled Roses Dies. Next decision was what background…. and I really like this Pebbled Path pattern in the Softly Stippled DSP. Now what else to do??? I got out my Vellum Basic SDSP and die cut several (well, three) leaves using the Stippled Roses Dies. The pattern doesn’t show so much, but the vellum leaves are attached to the back of the rose bouquet with Stampin’ Seal.. I added dimensionals and attached it to the Softly Stippled DSP panel. I wanted a bit of accent and Old Olive fit that need and all was adhered to the Pebbled Path card base. The sentiment is also from Stippled Roses and stamped on a Basic White strip with Pebbled Path ink. I trimmed ther ends, added mini dimensionals to the end and a bit of glue to the center area and attached it over the rose bouquet. I added three 2023-2025 In Color Dots in Pebbled Path.

For the inside, I stamped the single rose with leaves in Pebbled Path ink – also from the Stippled Roses stamp set – on the Basic White panel; adhered this to Old Olive card stock slightly larger and into the card base.

For the envelope – this same single rose with leaves was stamped on the envelope front and another piece of the Softly Stippled DSP was adhered to the flap and trimmed to fit. Done. I really likje the background on this card and how it softens the colors of the bouquet – and the vellum leaves too. Hope you like it as well.
The Softly Stippled DSP can be found on page 8 of the Jan-Feb 2024 Sale-a-bration Catalog – which means it is a FREE item with a $50 purchase. The Stippled Roses Bundle can be found in the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog on page 64. All other items used to make this card are in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. If you do not have a demonstrator and needs supplies, catalogs, inspiration – reach out to me. I would like to serve your needs.
