This is one of the new Stampin' Up background stamps, Pleasant Poppies. It was on my first order after the new catalog released.
I stamped the image and colored it using SU Markers and a Blender pen. I used a piece of plastic as a palette and added some ink from my markers and picked it up using the blender pen.
I trimmed some of the stamped image off and used it on the inside along with a border punched out of Pool Party cardstock. I used an EK Success eyelet punch to create the border.
The greeting is from Stampin' Up's Perfect Punches stamp set. I punched it out using the SU Oval Scallop punch and punched one out of Raspberry Ripple SU cardstock and cut that in half the long way and used it as a shadow layer. The printed paper is also SU and is from this Spring's Sale-A-Bration catalog. I happened to have some coordinating ribbon that I picked up at JoAnn's. I did a little shading, a little piercing and added white pen for stitching.... I think that's it. :-)
