Greetings!
I love how the introduction of the new In Colors each year bring a whole new vibe to our creations. Each of the five colors fills in a wonderful gap in the Stampin' Up! color selection. For those of you who've been with Stampin' Up! for many years, you may remember Pretty In Pink from years ago. I was so excited to see it back in the color choices as it is such a nice pink! A true pink, perfectly balanced between the purply pinks and the orangey pinks, and in a strong enough intensity to work equally well with very soft pastels or deep and rich colors.
For today's card, Pretty In Pink is featured in the card base as well as the floral print and the strip behind the focal panel. The new Lily Pond Lane Designer Series Papers (DSP) is where the gorgeous floral print and the soft speckled print come from that are used on this card. Taking my cue for colors from the floral print, Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock are a gorgeous compliment to Pretty In Pink.
I created this card a little backwards, in that I had the layout and the layers all figured out, and then was left to figure out what sentiment to use. The Irresistible Blooms stamp set has a gorgeous font for the various sentiments in the set, and "Thank You" fits beautifully inside the Labeled With Love Punch. The little 3-leaf cluster, which is from the Irresistible Blooms bundle, works nicely with the print and adds a nice touch to the label.
This template is a very simple combination of pieces that can be arranged in a variety of ways. The first card I made using this template had the other half of the diagonal print on the bottom left corner and the label up further so it was centered over the strip of DSP behind the panel. It could also flip to be in the landscape orientation and with the strip running vertically, or cut a longer and thinner strip to run horizontally behind the panel. Ribbon would be a beautiful option as well. I share all these thoughts with you as a way to help you see the possibilities. Remember that what I share is simply my vision of the card. Take what you want from it, and change what feels right for you. That's the beauty of creativity - we each get to choose what works best for us.
If you are a catalog shopper and you're wondering where the Irresistible Blooms bundle is, you won't find it in the catalog. It's an online exclusive. It's a beautiful bundle and one of many that are featured as online exclusives, so make sure and check them out. There are many options to choose from in a variety of styles to meet your needs.
