The challenge this week at Pals Paper Arts is a very autumnal color combination.
Despite these colors reminding my of Autumn, I chose a general card theme for my entry. This is a simple card with no sentiments that can be used for any number of occasions. I like to have a few of these around…just in case.
The centerpiece of this card is the flower stamped in Blackberry Bliss from the Beautiful Bunch stamp set. I stamped the center using the same set in Tangelo Twist and punch it out with the 7/8″ scalloped punch. My layout is pretty straightforward and I used DSP from the In-Color Designer Series Paper Stacks. However, the Blackberry Bliss is from last year’s retired stack. The ribbon is also last year’s Tangelo Twist ribbon.
I added a few rhinestones for a little added sparkle and they seem to do just the trick on this card. I love how something so simple makes the card a little more special. The flower and the center are both popped up with dimensionals.
I left the inside blank but embellished it with a little DSP. The envelope is lined with some DSP using the Envelope Liners Framelits. These quick little enhancements really complete a project and truly customized it.
Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you enjoyed this “any occasion” card. I appreciate your comments and would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Rosanne – This flower is a perfect image for this color combination. I love the panels of paper you’ve created to support it. Thank you so much for playing along with this week’s Pals Paper Arts color challenge – I’m glad you did.
Great mix of geometric and natural lines. Love the addition of little rhinestones to draw the reader in. Thank you for playing with us at Pals Paper Arts this week. Hope to see you again soon!
