Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month, the theme is Fabulous Flowers. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! As you hop from blog to blog, we would love for you to leave a comment. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
The Flowers theme is so perfect right now. I have a variety of flowers blooming so making a card inspired by them using the Hand-Penned Petals and Hand Penned DSP was a given.
Stamps and Paper
As I said above, I used the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set. These flowers are so pretty and beautifully painted. To continue the theme I went with the Hand Penned Designer Series Paper. Attempting to create the focal flower to look like the ones in the paper was my goal. The fillings for the two flowers are stamped. But there is not a fill stamp for the leaves. So to mimic the “not perfect” look of the stamps, I squiggled the leaves with the Light Mint Macaroon Stampin’ Blend. And yes “squiggled” is a technical term !! LOL!!
Embellishments
To finish the card took some thought. Adding the Brushed Brass Butterfly was easy. And that is a perfect fit for a pretty flower. But there was still too much open space. The idea for a bow, which I do quite often, filled the gap. Using the Simply Elegant Trim in Gold does not quite match the Brass of the butterfly. But it is pretty close.

More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on May 11th. Our theme will be New 2022-2024 In Colors, with the Pals showcasing the brand new In Colors in the new Annual Catalog.
Until then, have fun in your craft space.
