It’s Thursday, and time to play at Pals Paper Arts! It’s sketch week, and this one is layer-licious. I pulled out my new favorite Designer Series Paper, Soho Subway, and created away. I hope you enjoy today’s card.
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips: Stippled Blossoms
This finished card measures 5-1/2″ x 4-1/2″.
- Crisp Cantaloupe and Baked Brown Sugar! The Blossom, from Stippled Blossoms was inked in Crisp Cantaloupe, and overstamped in Baked Brown Sugar for a yummy vintage color combination. The leaves are Pistachio Pudding overstamped with Baked Brown Sugar, another “palette pleaser”!
- Stippled sentiment! The Happy Birthday sentiment from You’re Amazing was inked using Stampin’ Write Markers. To tone down the Very Vanilla background, the Stippled stamp was inked up with Baked Brown Sugar, stamped off, and then stamped over the sentiment.
- Puttin’ on the Pearls! Pearls adorn the flowers, the sentiment, and the gorgeous Blue Medallion pattern from the Soho Subway Designer Series Paper collection, adding a soft feminine touch.
In case you have thought things have been pretty quiet here at The Stampin’ Schach, they have. Some how, some way, I injured my back. I was getting those weird twinges that I had before my previous spinal fusion surgery a few years ago. So I have been taking things very slowly, and I have been taking my meds, which make me a combination of loopy, sleepy, and queasy. Hmmm. This sounds like three friends of Snow White!

I can’t even think of words, Ann. You did it again, this card is absolutely stunning, the Crisp Cantaloupe just pops!
Oh my gosh! I love everything about this card Ann! what a beauty!
Love love love this card! Amazing combo of DSP and stamp set!
This is such a pretty card. I love the colors you chose–they work so well together.
What a great sketch and a very beautiful card! Feel better soon my friend. Yikes! Please take it easy.
You really captured the sketch with such a beautiful card. Amazing colors and images came together very nicely. I don’t know where the week has gone–I have not had stamping and or computer time. Too much time outside mowing and weeding–not my favorite chores. Have a great weekend and take care of yourself. Darlene
Ann – this card is absolutely gorgeous. What a great combination – the Stippled Blossom with this paper! You always amaze me.
What a stunning card–love the papers and colors.
Please take it easy and I hope you feel better soon.
Please take care of yourself! Not only the furbabies need you, we all need you! It is no fun to have pain and right now I am feeling old with little aches and pains. I hope some R&R takes care of it.
The card, wowzer – I had no idea of what to expect! Love all the layers and pearls! The colors are cool too. I think I will like that pistachio pudding color, if not, make me some of those leaves with the brown sugar too! Looking forward to more projects with that paper! Take care.

OMG! Ann. This is stunning. Gorgeous creation!
Fabulous card. I love how you used the paper… reminds me a little of the Boho chic.
Take care of yourself, I hate it when my back is messed up.

I love everything about this one, Ann…the colors are scrumptious, the layout is eye candy and the stamping is divine. Right up my alley….super!
Thanks for sharing Soho Subway DSP! Lovely!
Your card turned out great, Ann! I love all things vintage and the Stippled Blossoms looks fantastic in that delicious combination of Cantaloupe Crisp & Baked Brown Sugar! I was not planning on getting the DSP, but have changed my mind after seeing your card…lol
I can’t wait for that DSP to be available. Your card is perfectly crafted.
Gorgeous! Great use of the dsp and the flowers are stunning!
Love this new DSP and love your card! I am so in love with Stippled Blossoms and you really know how to bring them to life!
So sorry to hear about your back, I know how bad the pain can be. I am having a spinal fusion in less than a month after dealing with pain for almost 2 years. Take it easy and rest, I hope you feel better soon!
Beautiful card. Can’t wait to use that dsp. Hope your back is better soon.
Ann as usual your card is a whole lot of gorgeousness! Love the layers and textures in the DSP… So pretty.
I wish we could SEE the papers better in the catty. I did not order this one, but now It’s a must! So pretty.
So sorry about your back. I had a bad back in my younger years and now do I do everything ever so gently…. so I do understand, but didn’t have any surgery. Yipes. and I hope you feel better real soon. hugs
This is lovely…can’t wait to get that Soho paper….it’s so nice & vintage!
Hope you are recovering from the back pain…..I am sympathetic, as I have had issues too! It affects EVERY part of your body and your LIFE!
Lovely card Ann ~ love the new in colours and how you used these here along with the pearls of course! Nicely done!!! Have a great day and take care *hugs*
I also love the Soho Subway DSP, waiting for my order to arrive! I’ve been wanting to try the challenges for awhile now, think I’ll work up my take when I get my stuff! I love your work and always get inspiration from you! Sorry to hear about your back, I also suffer from several herniated discs so I know how awful living with constant pain is; SU allows me to get lost and forget the pain for a moment! Hope you feel better soon!
amazing how the stippled blossoms look with the paper. brilliant combination!
Hope your back feels better soon! Back problems can be the worst!
I love green and peach(my favorites) so you know I love that pistachio pudding and crisp cantaloupe! The paper is so pretty. As always I love your attention to detail. Those pearls are such a nice touch!
Another great card!
Beautiful card Ann. Love the new color Crisp Cantaloupe!
Sorry to hear about your back. I have been getting injections in y back for about a year now. I also had a fusion 6 years ago. So take care and I know how you feel. it must be hard on you to take care of the furbabies. Wishing you better times ahead.
