I chose Balmy Clue cardstock for the base of this card. It’s one of the colors that coordinates with this paper. I especially love this particular pattern in the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper because it is soft and pretty. In the previous Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog there was a Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder that matched the design on this paper. If you already purchased that last year you can use it with this paper. I wanted to keep this card simple and let the paper show off its pretty design. I even managed to cut this scrap piece of designer paper that I had so that the two big flowers are centered on the card. I just had to trim thin strips off the sides of the card until I had it like I wanted.

The greeting is in the Sentimental Park Stamp Set. It’s two separate stamps because you can make different combinations of words to express your sentiment. My greeting is stamped in Balmy Blue ink on Basic White. I used two layering dies in the Something Fancy Dies. The layer underneath is Balmy Blue. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop up the greeting. I also added two Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Rainbow Dots in Balmy Blue to each side of the greeting. The ribbon wrapped around the lower portion of the card is the white ribbon in the Petal Pink and White Diagonal Trim Ribbon Combo Pack. It’s a pretty ribbon and thin enough to be the perfect size when you don’t want the ribbon to be too dominant. I tied the bow separately and adhered it with Mini Glue Dots.
