This gorgeous card is in the SCS gallery and I was inspired by it to make something similar with the very pretty colour combination of Kiwi Kiss, Pretty In Pink and Baja Breeze. It was also a way to use some of my lovely retired patterned paper Petals and Paisleys. Thank you Jodi for the inspiration. Your card is beautiful.For the layer behind the flower, I used white card, stamped it with Linen background in Kiwi Kiss, then stamped the flower stamp from Polka Dot Punch set over in Pretty in Pink and Baja Blue. How simple could this card be - I cheated by stamping the flower on the patterned paper and the leaves straight on to the Kiwi Kiss cardstock. Really I should be practising my watercolouring on these kind of images as I need to get way better at it.
My wish list from the new SU catalogue is very long - I really like so many of the new sets but am restricting myself to just a few for starters - have to sell off some before I can buy more! The new paper packs are beautiful and there are exciting things like more new punches, buttons and ribbons. If anyone would like a catalogue, please email me and I can send you one. They are $15.00 including postage or $10.00 if I can drop one off to you locally.

WOW. this is a gorgeous card. You picked a wonderful card for inspiration.
Fantastic card! I love the way you made the background with the Linen background stamp and the Polka Dot Punch stamps. I get depressed every time I look at a new SU catalogue. There's always so many stamps I want and so little money ;-). I was drooling over my sister's copy yesterday.
Jean - I just love this! The colours are just so soft and pretty! The original version is gorgeous too - I can see why you loved it when you saw it!

This is one the best cards I have seen using this set, great card!
Very pretty combo of patterned papers and the paper pieced flower. I actually like your version better than the original.
Absolutely fabulous Jean. I really love it.
Jean I love this card! What great spring colors...I think I'm gonna have to give them a go myself :-) Great attention to detail... Hugs from the US, ~Kristin
