Pretty in Pink with True Love DSP – Paper Players Challenge

Stampin Up True Love Celebration Card Idea -Rosanne Mulhern stampinupThe True Love Designer Series Paper collection has turned me into a coloring fool lately.  I love a set of black and white patterns and this collection is chock full of both floral and geometric patterns.  I haven’t even begun to use the geometric patterns as I’ve been enjoying coloring all the florals.  They are simply beautiful! Take a look here…

True Love Designer Series Paper #154281

My direction for today’s card came from The Paper Players color challenge.

Today’s card can be used for a variety of occasions using the sentiments from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set.

Stampin Up True Love Celebration Card Idea - Rosanne Mulhern stampinupHere are the details:

  • The card base is Flirty Flamingo with a Basic Black mat.
  • The Whisper White panel is embossed with the Parisian Flourish embossing folder.
  • I cut the floral spray from a pattern in the True Love DSP and colored it using Stampin’ Blends.
  • The flowers are hand cut with a hand cut Basic Black mat.  This is an easy way to step it up a bit and really highlights the image.
  • As I mentioned, the sentiment is from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set.  I stamped it with Versa Mark and heat embossed with silver embossing powder.
  • Again, I hand cut the sentiment and mat.
  • Lastly, I added a few silver enamel dots.

  1. Lovely coloring on those blossoms! I really like how you added the hand cut mats to both the flowers and sentiment. You’re so right that it really gives an extra pop to those elements! Definitely a celebration worthy card! Thanks for sharing at The Paper Players!

  2. Gorgeous. I love black and white with a pop of color. This is making me want to take my rococo rose blends out and color a bit and then maybe a yellow version, like mango? Thanks for such wonderful ideas!

  3. Rosanne, Your cars stopped me in my tracks as I was looking through the gallery at The Paper Players. Such pretty coloring and layout! Thanks for playing along!

  4. Rosanne, perfect and complete elegance! From the sentiment to the embossed background. Thank you for joining us at the Paper Players this week.

  5. Beautiful, Rosanne! The hand-cut black mat truly steps this card up. The embossed background is gorgeous. AND, on a side note, your calendar wreath is awesome!!! Wowza! Thanks for playing with The Paper Players!
