Pop-Up Posies

I keep forgetting I have these cute little flowers that I received free from Stampin' Up!  It is such a cute kit and the colors worked great with the challenge at Create with Connie and Mary this week. I paired it with the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch.
2013 Thursday Challenges-013
Aren't these colors fab?!  I just think they are so modern and fresh. Gray is such a great neutral.  I can't wait to start using the new gray that has been added to our collection of colors, Smoky Slate.  It's a nice light gray that will compliment Basic Gray very nicely, I think. I will try to make a card using the two later today so you can see how great they look.  For now, here is the card I came up with using these challenges.
  
I wanted my background to be shimmery so I sponged the embossed chevrons with Illuminate Glimmer Ink.  I had to get some new products in there too so I used my new favorite sentiment set, Really Good Greetings, as well as Mosaic Madness for the little shapes anchoring the flower. The flower is pretty amazing on its own, so I didn't want to take too much away from it.

Stamp Sets: Mosaic Madness, Really Good Greetings
Cardstock: Basic Gray, Very Vanilla
Ink: Calypso Coral, Pool Party, Basic Gray, Illuminate Glimmer
Tools: Chevron Embossing Folder, Sponge
Accessories: Pop-Up Posies Kit

  2. I always forget about the Illuminate Glimmer stamp pad that I own and rarely use! It looks beautiful on the chevrons. And I love the combination of new products and old products. Really lovely card, Shana. Thanks for joining us this week at Create with Connie and Mary.
