I started with Powder Pink cardstock for the cardbase and then took a piece of Tranquil Tide cardstock and embossed it with the Big Shot and Basket Weave Dynamic Embossing Folder before adding a strip of the Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper (this is one of those beautiful floral borders that's included in this paper package and perfect for a little accent.
For the main element I used the Stitched All Around stamp set and stamped the greeting in Mossy Meadow ink on Whisper White cardstock. The frame was cut out using Mint Macaron cardstock, Big Shot and the Stitched Labels Framelits to cut the large frame. Then I cut out the center of the greeting and distressed the edges so it had a torn effect and sponged around the edge with Tranquil Tide ink so the greeting is peeking out from the center (there is a sample in the annual catalog that did this effect and I really liked it).To finish off the card I tied a bow using Powder Pink 3/8" Shimmer Ribbon and attached it to the cardfront.
There is really nothing I don't like about this card, the colors, patterns, and textures all really dress up the card and bring a smile to my face. I've shown lots of different patterns and uses for the paper included in the Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper, I don't know of any reason for you not to buy it, and since it's included in this months Buy 3 Get 1 Free DSP it's the perfect time to add this paper to your collection.
