Create with Connie and Mary Thursay Challenge #520 Pop of Petals

July 26, 2018

I just got the Pop of Petals bundle and decided to use it for the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge #520. This week we have a sketch.

As I started work on this card, it became a Christmas card. Funny, how some cards seem to take on a life of their own. So here is the card.

The card base is Thick Whisper White cut at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2. Score and fold at 4 1/4.

The banners are from the 2018-2020 In Color 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper. The Call Me Clover banner is 1 3/4 x 5 1/2. The Lovely Lipstick banner is 1 3/4 x 3 3/4.

The large label is from the Stitched Labels Framelits. It's out of Whisper White. I really love that label! The sentiment on the label if from Night in Bethlehem stamped in Call Me Clover.

Stamp the flowers on Lovely Lipstick cardstock using Tuxedo Memento Black ink. You will need two for each flower. Stamp again on Pineapple Punch cardstock for the center of the flower. You will need to fussy cut this with your snips. Stamp the leaves on Call Me Clover in the same ink. Punch out the flowers and leaves with the Four-Petal Flower Punch. Cut the leaves in half. As you assemble the flowers, put a dimensional between the lipstick layers.

Inside, add another flower. The sentiment is from Christmas Pines stamped in Call Me Clover.

I know it's early for Christmas even though I'm watching Christmas in July on the Hallmark channel as I type this post. Surely, I'm not the only one!
