Pick a Petal







Sharon's aka "no time to stamp" is having her Friday challenge today and it's all about - PIERCING!!!

Uh....I love piercing!!! And of course she also likes it to be simple....- I like that too!!!

I just talked about this "Pick a Petal" Set with my good friend Simone yesterday....and also about the matching Brass Template...so when I started looking for an idea - I just grabbed it and created this card.

I stamped the dotted petal from this set with Pumpkin Pie Ink and stamped the lined petal on top with the Taken with Teal Ink. I also punched out a 1" circle and centered a Pewter
Jumbo Eyelet with a Pumpkin Rhinestone Brad in it.

Then I used the "Pick a Petal" Brass Template and started embossing around the petals. This Template also has the piercing guide for the petal. Pls see the catalog page #187 for details.....

I layered the image onto a Taken with Teal CS and no, no, no I did not do it...no Stampin Dimensional - he,he,he!!! Aren't you proud of me???

I added the Pumpkin Pie Grosgrain Ribbon and stamped the sentiment from the "It's your Birthday" Set.....~TFL~!!!

Have a great weekend!!!

Like everyone else said, the colour combination that you used is great, it is so fresh and makes me feel like spring is right around the corner (even if it is snowing outside right now!)
