I can't get enough of this Bali Breeze DSP! I love the color combo :) And ***IRL the background paper is really the same Olive color (only lighter) as the other Olive piece, even though it look like Moss??***
This card is for Julee's Mojo Monday contest. You can see the details and her sketch over at her blog ---> Poetic Artistry. Julee has some awesome sketches every week and is the owner of the fabulous Verve Visual online store...go check it out she's got a great sale going on now!!
So, for this card I used the sets Boho Backgrounds and One of a Kind. The large flower was stamped first in Olive on the Old Olive cardstock, then again 2 more times in Purely Pomegranate and Pumpkin Pie, both on Whisper WHite cs. I cut out these 2 layers and adhered them over the first (popping up the pomegranate image with dimensionals) The center of the flower is stamped in Taken with Teal using the small flower in the set and punching it out with the 1/2" circle punch so that it fits in the Build-a-Brad...aren't they soooo cool!! The for you was masked to remove the flower and punched with the small oval punch. I added some dots with my white signo gel pen around the border.
The base of the card is 5.25" square white cs (folded from 5.25 x 10.5). The next layer is one of the prints from the Bali Breeze DSP...its really a light Olive with flowers and vines in Old Olive...the color just looks kinda off. The next layer is Taken with Teal stamped with the dot background from Boho backgrounds (I used Teal to stamp it then added the center dots with my gel pen). The next little layer is also from the same pack. I backed both of these layers with a small piece of white cs. The small flowers are done with the flower trio stamp from One of a Kind, stamped once in Pumpkin and once in Pomegranate, then punched using the Boho Blossom punch and layered, adding a brad from the Bold Brights family. The ribbon is wide Olive grosgrain. All supplies used are Stampin' Up! I think the card turned out fun, thanks Julee for the inspiration!
Also for you using the same colors (Old Olive, Purely Pomegranate, Pumkin Pie, and Taken with Teal; Whisper White and Bali Breeze DSP) is a peek from the girl track from the upcoming Scrapbook Day. I used the Boho Blossom punch and the 5-petal flower punch for this page. Also used was the hostess set For a Friend. Thanks for visiting! -Cyndi
I love that card! The colors are so bright and cheerful and I just love the overall design.

You did a great job with this card! I love all the different layers. I ordered the One of a Kind set the day they stopped shipping it so I can't wait for it to come!
