ANNIVERSARY BOUQUET

I used components from two different past Paper Pumpkin kits to create this anniversary card for my husband.

With few exceptions, Paper Pumpkin kits are versatile and loads of fun. And Stampin' Up! is so generous with their supplies in these kits that you always have lots left over to play with in other projects.

The Paper Pumpkin components I used in my card are the gorgeous tone on tone vellum in the background, as well as the adorable bouquet stamp. 

After stamping the bouquet in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, I used Stampin' Blends in: SU 500 (one of their new neutral colors), Dark Pale Papaya, Dark Pink Pirouette (retired, but I still use it on occasion), Dark So Saffron, Light Parakeet Party (a new In Color!) and Dark Granny Apple Green, a color I grab frequently.

I fussy cut the bouquet, leaving a narrow white edge all around.

The pretty backdrop for the bouquet was cut with one of the Stitched So Sweetly dies. It was the perfect shape and size to set off the flowers just right.

I completed the look with a looped piece of Bumblebee Gingham Ribbon. 

If you're a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, do you make sure you use up all the supplies that come with the kits? How do you store your supplies until you are ready to use them?
