Are you ready for a fabulous sketch? If so, today is your lucky day, because it’s time for a Pals Paper Arts sketch challenge! What a perfect sketch to showcase these gorgeous patterns from the Tea for Two Designer Series Paper collection. Enjoy!
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
The finished card measures 5-1/4″ by 5-1/4″.
- Dynamic duo! The Floral and Calypso Coral Polka Dot patterns from the Tea for Two Designer Series Paper collection are a perfect pair. Why do they work so well together? It’s the commonality of color. Both patterns contain Calypso Coral and Very Vanilla.
- “Pop” up a posy! The Solid Flower from Stippled Blossoms was inked in Calypso Coral, stamped off once, and then stamped onto Naturals Ivory card stock. The Stippled Overlay was inked in Soft Suede and stamped off once before over-stamping. After snipping out the completed flower, Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to “pop” it up above the card’s surface.
- Embossed! The Thanks So Much sentiment from the Oh Hello set was heat embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder. The Stippled Overlay from Stippled Blossoms was inked in Soft Suede, stamped off, and then randomly stamped over the banner. Lucky Limeade, Calypso Coral, and Crumb Cake inks were used in the emboss resist technique.
This card was a snap to make! It could easily be re-designed into a 5-1/2” wide by 4-1/4” long card. Of course, if you did not want to use so many pearls, you could leave off the strips.
This card will be winging its way to the girls’ handler, Rhonda, to thank her for the fabulous weekend. Lexi won her class both days, and Muffy won her extremely competitive class on Saturday. They looked so pretty, and showed so well!

What a gorgeous card….I really have to include this DSP in my next order. Thank you for your tips, tricks, tutorial!!!!
So pretty! I love it! Brian counted the pearls – wow! I need to take another look at that paper. The pearls on the flower are my favorite. Great job as always…..
Great news about the girls! I was wondering.
Stay warm and dry. I think we have had a couple of inches so far but hard to tell with all that blowing snow.

Very pretty combo of dsp. I really like the sketch too. Of course the pearls are the perfect touch. Congrats on the accomplishments of Lexi and Muffy too. Are you prepared for another winter storm? We are right on the fringe of ice/snow. I’ll take the snow please. D

This is so pretty, Ann! I love these papers and how you’ve used them with this sketch! And that line of pearls adds such a touch of elegance!
Ann this is a whole lot of gorgeousness! OMG… can you count those pearls??????
I could never part with that many all at one time.
Love the softness of the “feel” of this glam beauty.
Hugs.
Absolutely stunning, Ann! I have not been able to make anything with this beautiful floral paper, but you have done it! I counted. Exactly 50 pearls on this single card. Mind blowing!
Oh boy do I love this one!! The colors, the patterns especially the mix of patterns, the sketch, the whole thing. Rhonda will be pleased for sure.
What a fabulous card, and with such stunning papers, love these! I have bought a pack of pearls, and it’s all your fault!
