Hello Blossoms - Try Stampin' on Tuesday #13

I've been itching to use the Hello Blossoms a la carte stamp, and the sketch challenge with Try Stampin on Tuesday http://trystampinontuesday.blogspot.com/2011/05/try-stampin-13.html provided the perfect opportunity to do this.  And it paired up so nicely with the Paisley Petals Designer Paper from the new upcoming (July publishing date) Idea book and Catalogue that I was privileged to be able to preorder.

Always Artichoke card stock forms the card base, followed by a layer of Marina Mist.  The next layer, Tangerine Tango, I put through the Big Shot using the Texturz plate (backgrounds 1).
I colored the flowers on the stamp with markers (Marina Mist, Baja Breeze, Old Olive & Tangerine Tango).  and stamped it onto Whisper White card stock. A strip of Always Artichoke punched with the Pinking Hearts Border punch was attached to the bottom of this focal panel, and then the panel was matted on 3 sides with Marina Mist card stock. I cut 2 pieces of Paisley Petal Designer Paper and matted them with Always Artichoke card stock and positioned them on either side of the focal image as indicated by the sketch challenge above.
