Build-A-Blossom PPA82 & CD98

Happy Sunday everyone.
 Today I'm posting a card that will work for two challenges; The Pals Paper Arts   theme challenge #82 and also the  Color Dare Color Challenge #98.

For the PPA challenge - Scallops of any kind could be used, and for the CD challenge - the colors are Perfect Plum, Always Artichoke and any Neutral.
It's always fun when the card you make will work for two challenges, isn't it? So with that being said... here's my card I'm sending to a friend going through chemo treatment.

I started with a 'Perfect Plum' CS base then added three layers (Always Artichoke CS, & two layers of Perfect Plum DSP) all scalloped with the scallop edge punch then glued to the front.

Next came that pretty blossom created with the new "Build A Blossom" stamp set. I double stamped the large petals in a lighter shade of purple {retired} then accented each with perfect plum ink on strips of whisper white CS [stamping the petals on strips of cs reduces the waste]. I punched them out with the "Blossom Petals" punch then repeated the process with the small petals.

 I built the blossom by adding sticky strip to a 1 3/4" circle of perfect plum  cs. Then I used the mat stack to poke the hole in the center.  I placed four large flower petals down on the circle and pressed to the sticky strip, then repeated with four more,  and then layered the small petals with tom bow glue. I pushed a large flower brad through the center hole but did not spread the clasp yet.

Before adding to the front I cut 3 large leafs with the build a blossom die and shaded the edges with AA ink; then held the Blossom in my hand and eye-balled where they would lay and glued to the card front with tom bow.

Next I stamped a sentiment on w.w. and punched with the smaller tag punch, then matted with an A.A. cs larger tag. I tied it to the brad by looping some twine around the pin with a bow, then spread the clasp on the back of the circle.

I mounted the large blossom with sentiment to the card front dimensionals.
Here is a peek at the inside with elements of the front; scraps of the DSP, a small stamped petal and a few more scallops! 

For the finishing touch, I 'finally' remembered to lined my envelope!

Well there you have it,  hope you like it.
