Just For Her Challenge

Hi Friends and Stampers :)

I have a pretty card for you today made using Pretty Cute Stamps and following the new monthly challenge, "Just For Her".  To play along and have a chance at winning a gift certificate, read the details here.

I had been wanting to try the Pleated Skirt Fold card for some time and thought it was the perfect technique for this girly challenge.

I used the tulip from the pretty and new Spring Flowers set.  I stamped the tulip and the stem/leaves, 3 times onto watercolor cardstock using Close To My Heart inks.  Next I used a water brush and filled in the stamped images trying to match the colors in the patterned paper that I used.  I die-cut the tulips out and also a coordinating piece to pop behind the image.  The fold for this card is really simple and you can find a tutorial here.  I stamped the greeting using a coordinating stamp from the set.  The papers that I used are from Stampin' Up and the pretty sparkle trim is from Close To My Heart.  For more inspiration, pop on over to the Pretty Cute Stamps Blog.

Thanks so much for visiting, please come back soon!

Happy Stamping :)
