Today we celebrate a new Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge! Check out the great color combination just perfect for summer:
These colors along with a little browsing of Pinterest provided the StampinMojo for this card.
The standard A2 card base is in So Saffron. Then I cut a piece of Baked Brown Sugar card stock 1/8" smaller and stamped it with the Hardwood Background stamp in Baked Brown Sugar. I stamped the frame from the Everything Eleanor stamp set in Baked Brown Sugar onto So Saffron and snipped it out. Then I traced the outline of the bouquet stamp from the Embellished Events stamp set (to enable a clean fussy cut of the bouquet) and then using my Stamp-a-ma-jig stamped the bouquet in the center for the stamp outline.
A little linen thread around the bouquet added a nice finishing touch. I wanted to add a sentiment and selected "Happy Birthday" from the new Something to Say stamp set in the NEW annual catalog. A piece of Pacific Point (retired) ribbon adds a bit of color.
My fussy cutting skill set is still under development. I figure the more I practice the better it will get! Tracing the stamp to create an outline to follow did help a lot.
I anxiously await Mr. Brown's arrival with my new Stampin' Up! order filled with goodies from the Annual Catalog. I have never been good at waiting…
Thanks for stopping by!

Simple and classic. You rocked the wood grain background!
I didn’t know what to do with Baked brown Sugar but you sure did! The wood grain is wonderful!
Love this, Michelle! It’s so crisp and clean. The Hardwood background stamp makes a fantastic setting for the label!
Beautiful, Michelle. The hardwood stamp on Baked Brown Sugar reminds me of that retired specialty dsp whose name escapes me!
Oooh, I love what you did, Michelle! The stamp and the pretty flowers, the ribbon under the sentiment…I love it all!
All the texture is just beautiful, Michelle! And I love that you used the unexpected choice of Pacific Point for the wheat. Gorgeous!
Fun, and fresh Michelle! It’s super cute!
