Top Ten Winners Blog Hop - Abstract Impressions

Hello everyone!  Welcome tot he Top Ten Winners Blog Hop from the May International Highlights.  Thank you so much to everyone who voted for my card.  I am so excited, and honored to be able to participate in this hop with all of these super talented demonstrators.

Today, we are sharing cards of encouragement.  I decided to make a card using the new Abstract Impressions bundle.  You can find this bundle on page 129 of the new Stampin' Up! annual catalog.

Here is my card:

I started with a Coastal Cabana card base.  I added two mats in Gorgeous Grape, and Whisper White.  I then used the Springtime Impressions Thinlit Dies to cut out my floral corner piece, in Coastal Cabana.  I used a sponge, to add some color under the flowers and leaves.  The colors used are: Coastal Cabana, Gorgeous Grape, Granny Apple Green, and Flirty Flamingo.  I stamped my greeting in Memento Tuxedo Black, onto Coastal Cabana Cardstock, and punched it out using the Everyday Label Punch.  I added some Whisper White Bakers Twine to the back, and then mounted the greeting onto a Gorgeous Grape #3 Stitched Shapes Framelits Oval.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you will check out the rest of the hop!
