There are lots of great samples in the new Idea Book and Catalog coming out July 1, and the other day one caught my eye.  The designer added some Itty Bitty punch flowers to this image from Pocket Silhouettes, and they were a perfect fit.  Here’s my version:

• Pocket Silhouettes and All Holidays stamp sets
• Almost Amethyst, Pretty in Pink, Whisper White and Lovely Lilac card stock
  
• Old Olive and Almost Amethyst Classic ink pads
• Pretty in Pink, Lovely Lilac and Old Amethyst Stampin’ Write Markers
• Tombo adhesive, Blender Pen and White Gel pen
• Itty Bitty punches; Horizontal Slot punch
• Pretty in Pink striped ribbon; Stampin’ Dimensionals
  
• Big Shot and Perfect Polka Dots Impressions Folder

This card falls in the simple and sweet category – an easy card for beginners.  After inking the image with Old Olive, I used a blender pen to remove the Olive color from the buds and replaced it with the Stampin’ Write markers.  I punched the bitty flowers out, attached them with Tombo, and added white centers and coordinating petal lines.  Add a sentiment and a ribbon and you’re done!  The image panel is adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals to provide a little, well, dimension, and also to leave a little room for those Big Shot Polka Dots and the ribbon.

Have you looked at the Last Chance Lists?  Stamps, accessories and Decor Elements are clearing out – some of them very quickly – and some of them at a discount!  Be sure you check my Online Store for all the information.  One of the punches that is retiring is the Horizontal Slot, and I am sorry to see it go – it’s just the thing for ribbon!
