If you are going forward in the hop you arrived here from my friend and partner Connie Babbert and her Inkspired Treasures blog. Her card is just delightful!

LotusBlossomDon’t you just LOVE this set?  I know that I do and so does all our design team members.  A couple weeks ago we had a color challenge of Hello Honey, Sahara Sand and Basic Black.  I just LOVED this color combo and when I was trying to figure out what colors to use for my card today, I decided to go with this combo.

Here’s the details –

  • Whisper White – 4 1/4 x 11 folded
  • Whisper White – 4 1/4 x 5 1/2, run through large dotted folder.  Wrap piece of Hello Honey Stitched Satin Ribbon.  Wrap two pieces of Basic Black 1/8″ Taffeta Ribbon.  Add Sahara Sand 3/16″ x 4 1/4 strips.  Add panel to card front.
  • Whisper White – 2 3/4 x 4 1/4.  Stamp Blossom in Hello Honey, Hello Honey stamped off once, So Saffron stamped off once.  Add stem to block curling top in opposite direction.  Stamp detail in Sahara Sand full strength and solid image stamped off once.  Stamp greeting using Memento Black.
  • Whisper White – 3 x 4 1/2, add stamped panel using dimensionals.  Add to care front using dimensionals.
  • Add some Basic Rhinestones to finish it off.
