Graphic Stems

I was drawn to the colors in the Paper Players challenge this week but fell in love with them when I put ink to paper - gorgeous!  I wanted to use a graphic image to repeat as the foundation of this card and my eye landed on the Stampin' Up Apple Blossoms set and knew that I found what I was looking for.  As a bonus, this poor set has not seen ink in many moons and it was about time it did!  The sentiment is also from another sorely neglected Stampin' Up set Basket of Blossoms.  A bit of splattering, snipping, layering and a colored pearl round out the card.


Swing by the Paper Players for lots of great inspiration using this fabulous color combination.

Happy Stamping,
Dana
