Priscilla's 411 Challenge #165

For this weeks fun 411 Challenge I wanted to use a stamp set and colors that I have not used very much.  Since I do not have a large circle die for my big shot I thought that the new Printed Petals set would sort of emulate the circle component of this sketch.  First I wanted to use all the new "In Colors" for this card but after several attempts at incorporating Poppy Parade and Peach Parfait I decided that all those colors together was too much for this card.  So my base is Whisper White with a layer of Concord Crush, Pear Pizzazz - stamped with Versa Mark.  The focal point is Blushing Bride (don't you just love the names for these colors) stamped with Concord Crush.  Of course I added the Concord Crush ribbon.  The focal point and flowers are raised with Stamping Dimensionals.  For the flowers I added a little bling with the new Basic Rhinestone Jewels.  The flowers were "curled" slightly with a bone folder.  This card has texture and dimension that adds a lot of interest.  I think the card came out quite nicely even if there were a couple of false starts.  Don't you think someone would like to receive this birthday card?


This is the sketch for my card.  Check out what the talented Operators and other folks did with it at the 411 web site;
