I combined two beautiful products from the new Annual Catalog to create this card! This is an example of letting the Designer Series Paper do ALLLLLL the talking! 
This background paper, mounted on a Basic Black card base, is from the “Whole Lot of Lovely” Designer Series Paper set (#144110 $11.00). Each design in this set is indeed lovelier than the last!
I love the large sentiments in the stamp set I used, called “Lovely Friends,” (#143763, $27.00), don’t you? They really speak for themselves on the card!
I used So Saffron and Soft Sky inks, along with Basic Black to create the center part of the card. The three-step flowers are super fun — try them yourself! The embellishments I used were the 5/8″ Burlap Ribbon (#141487, #7.00) and the new Mini Sequin trim in Black (#144259, $6.00). The little sequins are really beautiful in person, and add a little sparkle!
These products are all found on my Stampin’ Up! website. Click on the “Let’s Go Shopping” button above, and you will find yourself with a WHOLE LOT OF LOVELY products!
