Lily Impressions of Friendship--#tgifc252

This week TGIF Challenges is celebrating the two free-with-a qualifying-purchase designer series paper packs in the Sale-a-Bration Brochure:  Lily Impressions and Golden Honey Specialty.  They are both great papers as are the two new paper pack selections coming in the Sale-a-Bration second release on March 3--a foiled paper and embossed vellum.  Can't wait!

For this challenge I used two patterns in the Lily Impressions designer series paper pack (#152284) with two more free selections from the Sale-a-Bration Brochure:  Lovely Lily Pad stamp set (#152288) and Lily Pad dies (152315).  With a purchase of $200 in catalog product, you may chose all three of these coordinating Sale-a-Bration products FREE!

The background and foreground paper patterns are the two sides of one sheet of the Lily Impressions paper.  The solid Bermuda Bay paper covers the entire 5-1/2" X 4-1/4" card front.  The lily blossom pattern is 5" X 3-3/4" mounted on the same size Whisper White card stock to give it some body so I could pop it up with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I used the stamp set to stamp the lily blossom in Whisper White craft ink on Vellum and embossed it with White Stampin' Emboss Powder. I colored the blossom with the Flirty Flamingo Light Stampin' Blends marker.  The lily blossom, Garden Green leaf, and Blackberry Bliss edging were die cut with the die set.

The greeting is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595).  It was stamped in Bermuda Bay on Whisper White card stock and fussy cut. Three pearls were added to mimic the little white flowers in the paper.

You will be inspired by all of the projects created for this challenge.  Check them out at the TGIF Challenges Blog here.

Have an exceptional week!
