Welcome to week 2 of our new round of Colour Creations blog hops, featuring new In Colors from Stampin' Up! This week we are showcasing Petunia Pop, a gorgeous purpleish-pink. I couldn't go past the lush patterned paper in the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper pack. Both the striped and floral papers on my card are from this pack.
Warning: there's LOTS of Petunia Pop on my card this week! 😄
Here are some closer pics, of the details.
Firstly, the cluster of flowers was created with the Flowers of Beauty bundle. I stamped the flower outlines in Petunia Pop ink, on Basic White card. I then inked up the "fill in" floral stamp with Petunia Pop ink, and stamped it off onto scrap paper before stamping the details inside the flower outlines. I inked the detail stamp each time, stamped it off, then stamped it on to the Basic White card. The three flowers were cut out with the co-ordinating die. Another die from the Flowers of Beauty set was used to cut two leafy sprays from Basic Black card.
For the flower centres, I chose 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems. These beauties are very pale, so I used the Dark Petunia Pop Stampin' Blends marker to make them stand out more.
I used Petunia Pop ink to sponge the edges of both the striped and floral papers, then adhered them to a mat of Petunia Pop card (and a thin mat of Basic Black card, glued to the Thick Basic White card base). A thin strip of Petunia Pop Glimmer Paper runs down the join between the two patterned papers.
The sentiment was created using the Unbounded Love bundle. I stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White card, then cut it out using the scalloped oval label die. I cut a second one from Petunia Pop Glimmer Paper, and inserted the Basic White piece inside the glimmery frame after I'd added some Petunia Pop ink with a Blending Brush.
Even more glitz was added, in the form of black Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems. A bow of Petunia Pop Bordered Ribbon finished off the design.
I just love the floral paper, so added a little strip inside the card (after sponging the edges of the paper with Petunia Pop ink):
