Thanks for Being There with Impressions Abloom

Yesterday I shared a simple, many-layered card. I was so happy with the layout that I created another card to share with you today. If you missed yesterday’s card, you can see it here. Today I am sharing the new card, a new color combination and the measurements used on the cards I’ve shared. Here’s the thank you card I made to share with you today:

While I used no Designer Series Paper on yesterday’s card (that’s rare for me), today’s card features two designs from the Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper. Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in the Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper:

How beautiful are these papers together? The monochromatic pattern in the Fresh Freesia pattern works well with the flower-filled pattern beneath it.

I punched a piece of Thick Basic White with my Modern Oval punch and stamped the sentiment from the Impressions Abloom stamp set using Secret Sea ink. I hand-snipped a few flowers from the background panel and added them to my sentiment with Mini Glue Dots. Here’s a closer look:

I love the mix of soft purple, dusty blue and rich green used in the floral pattern showcased on my card. If you like this mix of Fresh Freesia, Misty Moonlight and Old Olive as much as I do, I hope you’ll save this for future reference:

I added a trio of Two-Tone Sparkle Gems to accent my sentiment. While the colors in the gems are Balmy Blue and Bubble Bath, the colors look a lot like Misty Moonlight and Fresh Freesia against this combination of colors. ♥
