I chose a more muted pallette than the inspiration photo, using Lemon Tart, Aqua Mist, and Ocean Tides.
I used Turning a New Leaf stamps, Ocean Tide ink, and Aqua Mist cs for the background. Using this tutorial from SCS, I used Lemon Tart cs to create the pleat; then I added a little rick rack trim in the middle. I used the Linen Impression Plate with Soft Stone cs for the background of the focal point with a pinking edge peeking out from the right. Bloom Builders #3 die and Turning a New Leaf dies create a floral accent for the sentiment from Healing Touch.
I used RetroSketches #17 for my card design. This recently discovered blog is a great sketch challenge blog.

Really pretty, Cammie! I love the folded paper strip you've created!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card, the ruffles are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteYour card is so pretty, love that you used the softer yellow I did the same. Beautiful folded paper. I think our cards have a bit of a similar look to them.
ReplyDeletePretty card. Love the pleating on the side. I always love that flower whenever I see it.
ReplyDeleteLoving the paper pleat! Gorgeous card!
ReplyDeleteI like the muted palette. Great choice of stamps and details Cammie.
ReplyDeleteI love that fan of paper on the left hand side. Very nicely interpreted.
ReplyDeleteOoh, Cammie, this is so pretty! I love the Ocean Tides stamped on the Aqua Mist cardstock!
ReplyDeleteOcean Tides was a great choice to add to the soft color palette. Beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful card ~ I love that you used ocean tides instead of green!
ReplyDeleteSaw you on the PTI blog hop. Lovely card! :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Love all the different elements especially the flower and pleats.
ReplyDeleteOh, I just LOVE your card, Cammie! The softer colors are so beautiful as are all the details. I really like the Ocean Tides with Aqua Mist. They're even better than the green. The pleated piece with the rick rack is the perfect touch!
