I started this challenge with Freshly Made Sketches earlier in the week when the challenge was first posted but just could not come up with the right stamp to use for the circle in the challenge.   And then— a new shipment arrived from Stampin Up on Friday with the Frosted Floral DSP inside.  Looking through the sheets of DSP, there was one that caught my attention and I knew I had found my circle for the challenge.

You can see the DSP here that I used.  You are getting a Sneak Peak of the paper in the 2018 Holiday catalog.

My inspiration for this card as you read earlier is from Freshly Made Sketches.I used a card base of Rich Razzleberry, embossing the front using the Subtle embossing folder.  I think I have been using this embossing folder a lot lately.  

I then cut a 2-3/4-inch circle from Blackberry Bliss using the Layer Circle Framelits. I cut a 3 – inch circle using the silver side of the Frosted Floral DSP.  From the Frosted Floral DSP, a rose was fussy cut along with some leaves.  This was adhered to the center of the Blackberry Bliss circle and the circle was popped onto the Frosted Floral DSP circle using Stampin Dimensionals. This Frosted Floral circle was popped onto the Rich Razzleberry card base using Stamping Dimensionals again.

I then cut a strip of the Frosted Floral Silver side 1-1/2 x 4-1/4 and a strip 1-3/4 x 4-1/4 of the Blackberry Bliss for the mat.  I stamp “Thanks” on a small rectangle using Versa Mark and heat embossed with Stampin Silver Embossing Powder. I popped this onto the silver strip.  I added 3 pearls from the Share What You Love Artisan Pearls.

The inside sentiment panel of Whisper White has a tiny strip of the Frosted Floral DSP down the left side.  The sentiment “not only your thoughtful gift…” is from the Thankful Thoughts Stamp Set.

All products used in making this card are listed at the very end of this post along with card cuts.
