Today’s card was made by the lovely and very talented Debbie Catlett, of Chattanooga, TN. Debbie is a member of my Candy Hearts team. This was a card she made for this month’s Creative Challenge at our March team gathering. She used the Lot of Lavender stamp set (available free with a $50 order only through Saturday!) and a piece of Petal Garden Designer Series Paper to create this beautiful card. Debbie always adds a little something to the inside of the card as well.

Here’s what she made:

Here’s what she did:

Cut and scored with her Stampin’ Trimmer:

Rich Razzleberry card stock (CS) cut to 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
Sweet Sugarplum CS cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″ (2 pieces)
Petal Garden Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 3″ x 5-1/4“

Stamped with the Lots of Lavender stamp set:

bouquet in Basic Black ink onto a scrap of Whisper White CS
small flower with leaves in Basic Black ink onto the Sweet Sugarplum CS for the inside of the card

Die cut using the Layering Ovals Framelits:

sentiment with a plain oval die
a scrap of Rich Razzleberry CS with a slightly larger scalloped oval die

Colored using Blender Pens:

bouquet in Rich Razzleberry, Sweet Sugarplum, and Lemon Lime Twist

Assembled the card:

burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
stamped piece of Sweet Sugarplum CS glued onto the inside of the card base
plain Sweet Sugarplum CS layer glued onto the front of the card base
DSP layer glued onto the Sweet Sugarplum CS layer
plain oval glued onto the scalloped oval
doily glued onto the back of the scalloped oval so it shows on one side
doily/oval glued onto the DSP layer (She used a retired doily. If you don’t have any of those, I recommend using the Delicate White Doilies.)
small bow tied with a double piece of Linen Thread, and adhered to the bouquet with a Mini Glue Dot
