Anything Is Possible

The Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog debuted on Tuesday. I am still going through the products from my pre-order. That is a demonstrator perk. I love the catalog and flipping through it, but everything is even better when it is in my hands!! Today’s card is an example of that.

Flowers

The stamped image and the Designer Series Paper are both the Hand Penned Petals. Oh My! I thought it was pretty in the catalog. In person is way more exciting. The paper truly looks as if it is drawn in ink and then lightly watercolored.

For this card I chose the Single flower stem from the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set. Choosing the color was hard, as all of the colors in the DSP would work. I finally decided on the Highland Heather. The image is stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black and I used the fill stamp for the purple flower. The fill stamp left white places, as it shows on the DSP. I decided to try an experiment. Using the Highland Heather Dark Stampin’ Blend, I filled in the white spaces. The look that created is almost like a bleached look. I am happy with that experiment!

Finishing Touches

I put the card together and did not add a sentiment. Then I second guessed myself. I love the mix of fonts in each of the sentiments in this stamp set. As soon as I saw this “Anything is Possible”, I knew it was the correct one to use. That is such a sweet sentiment.

My final touch for the card was to add a Pastel Pearl in the center of the smaller flower. I chose the one that is a light blueish color. It brings out some of the very light blue in the DSP. And I believe the single pearl was enough of embellishments.

Thank you for stopping by today. I really do appreciate you looking at my projects. All of the supplies I used are at the bottom of the post.
