Hi Stampers, It’s Alternate Monday day.  That means I am sharing a card taken from the blog hop that I participate in each Thursday. I am taking either the sketch or color challenge and making a second card that is close to or similar to the posted card from the hop.  I want to inspire you to get different looks for your card by mixing it up a bit by color and design.  Today I used the same layout, with a twist and changed the colors to give the card an “Alternate” look.

Stampin’ Up! Forever Blossom:

The recipe:

Card base: Whisper White 4-1/4 x 11, Scored at 5-1/2

Mat: Pool Party 4 x 5-1/4

3- DSP panels: Parisian Blossom DSP 1-1/4 x 5-1/8

Sentimente: 3/4 x 4-1/2 punched with the Banner Triple Bunch

The details:

• Stamp the large floral image from the Forever Blossom stamp set onto Whisper White card stock in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink
• Stamp the single blossom and double leaf  from the Forever Blossom stamp set onto Whisper White card stock with your Tuxedo Memento Black Ink
• Color your images with your Stampin Blends as follows:
• All flowers: Petal Pink
• Leaves: Old Olive
• After you color in your images, use the matching Cheery Blossom Dies to cut all the images out
• Stamp your sentiment from the Beautiful Moments stamp set onto your sentiment piece using Tuxedo Memento Black Ink

Putting the card together:

• Adhere your  Pool Party panel to the card front with snail
• Adhere your three DSP panels on top of the pool party panel with snail
• Adhere your sentiment into the the card front with snail
• Adhere your large floral to the left hand side of the card front with Dimensionals
• Adhere one single cherry blossom image to the cluster with a Dimensional
• Tuck in the single leaf to the flower cluster

Finishing touches:

• Add a Petal Pink Metallic Edge Ribbon
• Adhere a few Champagne Rhinestones to your card and you are done!
