This Petal Palette Graduation Congratulations Card is perfect for this time of year when graduations are just beginning! But this card wouldn’t have to be for a graduation. It could be for any congratulatory occasion….or change the greeting to birthday, anniversary even sympathy.
The Petal Palette Stamp Set has been one of my favorites but it is going away with the new catalog. You can get the Petal Palette Stamp Set on the Stampin’ Up! Last-Chance List in the Online Store. There are also coordinating dies, the Petals & More Thinlits Dies, that you might be interested in.
The card actually has a card base of Shimmery White Cardstock and a layer of Shimmery White Cardstock as well. It is laying on a sheet of Granny Apple Green Cardstock and looks like that is the card base, but it is not. However, it does look pretty so you could use a green card base to match the ink in your leaves.
The flowers are stamped in Memento Ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends in Calypso Coral, but you could use other coloring mediums as well. Then they are die cut with one of the Petals & More Dies.
The leaves are stamped with Granny Apple Green Ink, but I stamped off on my Grid Paper first and then stamped on the card because I wanted them to be light. The greeting also comes from the stamp set and is die cut with one of the dies.
Even though I began by thinking about a card for graduation, I’m sure you can see how this could be a generic card for many occasions. Check out this card, rather similar, but with the flowers just stamped on the card.
