Today's project features this punch and a Crystal Fountain Clematis (see picture below). Yes, it's pink, Pretty in Pink, that is! Remember, only your imagination is your limitation? Well, I wanted a pink Clematis to match my second card layer, Lap of Luxary Designer Series Paper, so I created one. I created it with seven of the punch's small blossoms, which I spritzed with the Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz. I made the Concord Crush stamen of the Clematis with many of the smallest leaf from the Blossom Petals Punch. Using the Stampin' Up! Paper Snips, I cut the leaves into thin strips, ensuring I didn't cut completely through the edge.
I made the Pear Pizzazz and So Saffron stamen by (1) cutting two small, narrow strips of each card stock, with the So Saffron shorter than the Pear Pizzazz; (2) cutting the pieces into thin strips, which were cut only to the edge; and (3) rolling them up with the So Saffron in the middle of the Pear Pizzazz. Using the Crop-A-Dile, I punched a medium-sized hole in the center of the pink and purple parts of the flower, inserted these two rolled-up strips, and glued them together on the back side. The leaves of the flower were made with the punch and Always Artichoke card stock.
I used a Happy Birthday stamp in the Bring on the Cake stamp set to stamp the sentiment on Pretty in Pink card stock. The sentiment is encased with the largest of the Beveled Windowpanes, and attached to the card with Concord Crush Stitched Poly Ribbon. I embellished the card with Pretty in Pink Flower Brads, Subtles Collection.
