Today's Sweet & Simple Saturday card uses the colors from Kristina Werner's color challenge - Kiwi Kiss, Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip and Whisper White - yummy combo.
I used one of the first Papertrey stamp sets for this card - Text Boxed, which has sat unloved on my shelf for ages. I find it tricky to get a good even ink coverage on the negative stamps in this set and so I wound up using a brayer to get a good impression.
The flower centers were stamped with Baja Breeze and covered with clear Dew Drops. The sentiment is from the A Muse acrylic set Simple Wishes.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Supplies:
Stamps: Text Boxed (Papertrey Ink), Simple Wishes (A Muse Art Stamps)
Paper: Papertrey white, Kiwi Kiss & Chocolate Chip
Ink: Kiwi Kiss, Chocolate Chip & Baja Breeze
Accessories: Valet Ribbon (SU), Dew Drops
Just beautiful!

Hi Alison,
I looked up your blog after seeing your gorgeous Fresh Cuts embossed card in Papercrafts mag (yes, I get it sent to me here in Australia!) Congratulations on winning a spot in the Stamping Royalty, and thanks for the inspiration. I loved it so much I hardly changed a thing. I have had a browse around the rest of your creations, and I've bookmarked you - I'll be back!

Love the card! Very pretty!
I stumbled upon your comment on Beate's entry about the Mainzer Dom, I study interpreting in Heidelberg, so I thought I'd drop you a line :) Where are you originally from? Many greetings from sunny Heidelberg - Nina
