Do I say Happy Pollen Day or Happy Thursday, either way, we are covered up in pollen.  I suppose that is the price of having beautiful flowers and trees that bloom in the spring.

My card today features my favorite DSP that will be retiring soon, so I want to use it while I can.

My inspirations are from two challenges today.

Just Us Girls.  Their challenge this week is Stripes.

And..

Tuesday Morning Sketches with a great sketch challenge for the week.  These two challenges combine very well for my creation today.

I started with a Basic Black card stock base adding a layer of True Love DSP matted with Basic White card stock.

I cut a panel of True Love DSP that has flowers, cropped a circle from the middle using Layering Circle Dies, and then colored using Rococo Rose, Granny Apple Green, Balmy Blue, Soft Suede and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. Once colored, I popped it back over the circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  The cropped panel was matted on a Basic White card stock panel before popping the circle back in.

I adhered the colored panel to the card front, popped three pearls from Pastel Pearls to the lower left of the card front.  I stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink a greeting from Here’s A Card Stamp Set on a scrap of Basic White card stock and flagged one end, then popped on the lower right corner.

The inside is left blank for a note as this is a thank you card.  I did add a strip of the True Love DSP and curved it up the page a bit.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the True Love DSP added to the flap.

If you would like to create this card all the products used and the card cuts are at the end of this post.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day.  My hope and wish are that you will be inspired to create amazing creations yourself.  Any questions you may have, you know you can always contact me.  Have a blessed day!
