Hi, friends! I made this card when I was participating in a swap, and I like it so much I wanted to share it with you.

It’s such an easy card to make, yet it’s super elegant and pretty. I started with the Lots of Lavender stamp set I got for free with Sale-a-Bration (yes, demonstrators get all the free stuff you can get, plus more!) I stamped the flower outline in black ink, then stamped the petals with Sweet Sugarplum (that’s an In-Color that’s retiring on May 31 – stock up while you can!) I then stamped the bow in Berry Burst, and the leaves & stems in Pear Pizzazz. The stamps have that not-perfect watercolor look that I love. I used an oval framelit to cut out the image.

The designer paper is Coffee Break, and don’t you just love the Berry Burst Metallic-Edge ribbon! It’s new, from the Spring catalog, and I’ve been using it on everything. I sure hope Stampin’ Up comes out with more colors in the big catalog in June.
Back to our card. Did you notice that I added a little metal embellishment above the ribbon? Those are the new Petal Passion embellishments, also in the spring catalog. I just attached it with a glue dot.

Let me know if you like this card. If you’d like to place an order for some of these supplies, click here. It’s Sale-a-Bration – -so you’ll get to pick a free item for every $50 you order. Cheers!
