Finally, a 5/8 inch Silver Jumbo brad finishes it off.
Here's my recipe:

A Card with No Stamping for Three Challenges

I made this cheerful card without stamping. It was done with the Splitcoast Sketch#334 here. I also used the PPA#95-CAS-Elements of Style-Brads, here. And finally, the Create with Connie and Mary Color Challenge#152 here. The colors to use are Baha Breeze, Peach Parfait and Riding Hood Red. But I just realized I used Poppy Parade instead-oops!

Crumb Cake card stock is the base and then I added some Poppy Parade and DSP from the DSP Pack In-Color. I ran some Crumb Cake thru the Big Shot with the Square Lattice embossing folder and then some Baha Breeze, Peach Parfait and Poppy Parade thru the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder. I punched out the Poppy circle with the 1 3/4 inch XL Circle punch and used the 2 1/2 inch XL Circle punch on the other two colors. I used the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch on more In-Color DSP and some Baha Breeze to punch out the flowers. The 1/2 inch Small Circle punch was used on the tree colors too. Finally, I added three Glimmer Brads to finish off the flowers and popped up the centers with Stampin' dimensionals.
