I love the graphic nature of the flowers in Verve's Petals & Stems set. The sentiment is from Abundant Blessings. I used a lot of square punches to make quick work of this sketch. I punched the Baja Breeze with a 1 1/4" square punch, the Not Quite Navy with 1 3/8" scallop square, and a hint of Ruby Red with the 1 3/8" square punch, all from Stampin' Up! The large oval and key tag punches were used for the sentiment panel.
The designer paper is American Crafts Play Hopscotch & Play Monkey Bars, purchased a long time ago at Hobby Lobby. The colors are very close matches to Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy, Ruby Red, Old Olive, Kiwi Kiss and Pretty in Pink.
Stamped the flowers and stems in Not Quite Navy on Whisper White card stock, then cut them out. Punched the flower centers in Ruby Red and cut them out. Popped the flowers up on the square panels and decided to layer the stems over the ribbon so the leaves would show. This is the cheerful end result I was hoping for.
