Good Morning! I’m using the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses bundle from the new January-April Mini Catalog and the Softly Stippled Sale-A-Bration designer series paper for a thank you card. I love how the images in this pattern resemble the roses in the stamp set! You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

My card’s design was inspired by the pretty sketch in Global Design Project #426:

I adhered a panel of Calypso Coral rose patterned Softly Stippled designer series paper to a Calypso Coral mat with liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses stamp set using Pebbled Path ink on Calypso coral and cut it out with a banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies. I adhered it to the DSP panel with liquid glue and wrapped it with linen thread, making a bow.

I adhered the DSP panel to the front of a Calypso Coral Card base withh dimensionals. I cut a small leaf spray from Garden Green using a die from the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses dies and adhered it to the card with glue dots, tucking it under the linen thread and covering the left side of the banner. 

I stamped the small rose from the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on Basic White and colored it with Watercolor Pencils. I colored the flower all over lightly with the Calypso Coral Pencil. I colored the darker areas again to intensify the color and blend it out into the rest of the petal. I colored the leaves in Garden Green using the same method. I cut the flower out with the coordinating die and popped it on the card with dimensionals.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the small rose from the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses stamp set in Pebbled Path ink in the top corner of a Basic White panel. I colored it using Calypso Coral and Garden Green watercolor pencils and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Softly Stippled DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The images and sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses bundle are just gorgeous and it’s wonderful to have them also in the Sale-A-Bration Softly Stippled DSP! I’ve been pleased at all the different ways to stamp and color the images from the stamp set – it’s pretty versatile!
