Thinking of You

I made this quick card for three challenges. First, I used the Stamping 411 Sketch#227 here. Second, I used the Splitcoast Color Combination #347 here. The colors to use are Bravo Burgundy, Always Artichoke and More Mustard. And finally, it qualifies for the SUO Challenge#31 here-Thinking of You.

The base is More Mustard and I added some Always Artichoke and some Spice Cake DSP. I stamped the Triple Treat Flower three times in each color. I punched out a More Mustard piece with the Fancy Flower punch and used that again to punch out the Artichoke flower. I used the 5-Petal Flower punch on the Mustard part and the 1/2 inch Circle punch on the Burgundy circle. I popped up the Mustard and Burgundy pieces with Stampin' dimensionals. I stamped thinking of you from Trendy Trees  in Burgundy and punched it out with the Word Window punch. I punched the Mustard piece with the Modern Label punch. Finally, some 1/2 inch Always Artichoke Seam Binding finishes it off.
