Happy Pink Flower

I am so happy and a little less stressed tonight.  On the day before I have to have my card ready using this stamp set and punch, I finally got one to turn out that I'm happy with. I combined a few of my previous ideas and came up with this one. I think it is lovely and I hope the ladies enjoy it as well. 

Stamps: All Holidays, Build a Blossom
Ink: Melon Mambo
Paper: Confetti White, Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo, Old Olive

Eureka!

I think I finally got it! I have been playing around with this stamp set and punch trying to get a card I liked for my upcoming workshop. I believe I'm going to go with this one. What do you think? 

I had to sneak in a technique to make it fun. I used the Poppin' Pastels technique on the edges of the embossing folder. You can find the directions here.

My new goal is to do a card challenge each day, so today I decided to try out a few new products. This was my first attempt at assembling the blossoms punch and I think it turned out okay. It was one of the requests for my next hostess workshop, so you might be seeing it a lot as I figure out the best way to demonstrate it. :)

Paper: Marina Mist, Bashful Blue, Daffodil Delight
