Hey there! While I was playing with the Cottage Rose Bundle, I decided I needed to create a card that didn't need designer series paper. I also decided I wanted to try a softer, more subtle look, so I chose to use Soft Sea Foam and Basic White for my color palette:

I decided to just stamp the bloom with Soft Sea Foam ink and only add Clear Wink of Stella for some shimmer.

I colored White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon with the Soft Sea Foam ink pad before tying in a double bow. You need to wait until the ribbon is completely dry before adhering with a mini glue dot or the moisture in the ink will neutralize the glue dot's stickiness.

I stamped the Soft Sea Foam front layer with the leaf image and Soft Sea Foam ink before embossing with the  Quatrefoil Tile embossing folder. It is so hard to see, though, that I think if I make this same card with the same color again I won't stamp before embossing.

On the inside I used my ink pad trick again, dragging it around all four sides of the layer to create a darker shade of Soft Sea Foam.

I finished the inside with another Cottage Rose sentiment and Soft Sea Foam ink.
