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!
