Raspberry Ripple Sorry

Saying sorry has never looked so pretty... This lovely Stampin' Up! exclusive design offers a wonderful collaboration of colors and just the right touch of added 'extras' to make the card perfect. 

 

It's all in the details! 

The intricate detail of the main image from the Field Flowers stamp set really brings this pretty card to the next level.  The beautiful textured stippling 'comes to life' against the crispness of the whisper white card stock and offers a such richness.  The pretty curves of the "S" seems just right for the card too. 

 

Creative Note:

Take a peek at the Raspberry Ripple colored twine weaved through the glitzy faceted button. You can create the same effect using Stampin' Up!'s white bakers twine and a Raspberry Ripple re-inker.  It's just a simple dye job!

 

Complimentary Contrast-

I'm a sucker for Raspberry Ripple!  But I love how the Certainly Celery scallop border POPS agains the Chocolate Chip.  The darker hue offers a nice background so your eye picks up the subtle scallop.  So pretty!

 

Pop over to my web store for a complete list of the supplies you'll need to make this little ditty!
