#stampinup This week’s sketch challenge at the Create with Connie and Mary blog threw me for a loop for a bit. It looked simple enough, but I had a little bit of a creative block.
Fortunately, I spied a piece of Soft Suede card stock that I’d previously stamped in Soft Suede with the “Hardwood” background stamp. I love to pair Soft Suede with Blushing Bride and I had some Blushing Bride 1/4″ Cotton Ribbon, so I wrapped this around the Soft Suede piece, as in the sketch.
I thought some daisies would look pretty strung on this wall, so I stamped three of the daisies from the “Petite Petals” stamp set in Soft Suede onto Blushing Bride card stock. I punched these out with the matching Petite Petals Punch. I used my bone folder to curl the petals of the flowers before adhering them with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added the smallest Metal Rimmed Pearl to the center of each flower.
Finally, I stamped the “happy birthday” greeting from the “And Many More” stamp set in Soft Suede onto a Blushing Bride scrap and punched it out with the Oval Punch. I adhered this to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The soft Blushing Bride flowers and ribbon are a delightful contrast to the Soft Suede Hardwood! Very pretty! Thank you for joining us at Create with Connie and Mary!
I love how those colors work together too! The Blushing Bride brings a softer look in lovely contrast to the hardwood. Such a sweet birthday card using this sketch! Thanks for joining us for the sketch this week at Create with Connie and Mary!
Very pretty indeed! Your Blushing Bride ribbon with pink flowers really reminds me of ballet shoes on a hardwood floor – a wonderful contrast between soft and delicate and hard and weathered. Thanks for joining us over at Create With Connie and Mary this week!
