This is my sample for CC953. Chris is our hostess and she chose sweet sorbet, azure afternoon and balmy blue for her color trio. Dessert option this week is to use your favorite green. I chose granny apple green.
My card is using an older Stampin' Up set- Bloom by Bloom. This is the first inking of this set. This one was inspired by a card Magie Etampes that I saw on Pinterest. She used a totally different color palette.
I don't have sweet sorbet ink so I used watermelon wonder. It's a very close match. I used azure afternoon to stamp the dots. I ink blended the corner of the image panel and then the corner of the card base with tumbled glass distress ink. It a nice match for balmy blue.
I added a sweet sorbet layer to my image panel. Die cut the birthday sentiment in sweet sorbet and white cardstocks to complete my card.
Hope you can play along with us this week. Chris has chosen some great colors for your cardmaking designs.

This is such a cute use of Bloom by Bloom. I've always liked those not-so-realistic looking images because you can pretty much throw out the rules when designing with them. Your card really captures such a sense of lightheartedness and the ink blending even adds a bit of whimsy.

This is beautiful Mary! I love the flowers, so spring and summer pictured. Whoever gets this will be pleasantly surprised.

I really like these floral images and the clusters of blue dots. The shading in the corner going up the side adds nice depth and I love the tiny scallops on the die cut background. Sweet card!

Lovely card, Mary. Your stamping and shading are so well done and make such a pleasing presentation. The gentle shading in the lower right corner adds so much.
