Goodbye & Good Luck!

 Hello and welcome back! Today's card is another for my church friend who is moving to Denver. This card will be going to choir rehearsal so that everyone can sign it and send their own best wishes.

I wanted to make sure there was enough room for everyone to sign, so I made a slightly larger card than usual. This is from an old package of Large Memories & More Cards & Envelopes. This week's color challenge at the Paper Players was my inspiration. 


My additional color was Old Olive so I would have something for the leaves!


The detailed sunflower was stamped with Pale Papaya and cut with the outline die, then the detailed die was cut from Pumpkin Pie and layered on top. An Early Espresso circle was added to the center with some Champagne Rhinestones. The leaves were stamped in Old Olive, then layered with the detailed die cuts.



I doubled up the Pale Papaya and white ribbons before tying them around the DSP and cardstock layers on the card front. The sentiment was stamped in Early Espresso and cut with a die from the Bloom Dies, then layered onto another Old Olive piece cut with the same die. That sentiment is from Greatest Greetings, a wonderful set from the 2016-2017 Annual Catalog.

This card is also entered in the Anything Goes challenge at Retro Rubber this week.


Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!
