Think About Color Thursday - Poppy Parade, Whisper White and Crumb Cake

This week's color combination is inspired by a home-designing blog.  The white, poppy, and crumb cake colors look so pretty together, don't you think?

 

There's a lot going here on this card, even though it looks like a simple one.

NOTES:

stamp sets:  Have a Seat, Tiny Tags, Valentine Defined (retired)

inks:  Whisper White Craft Stampin' Pad; Classic Stampin' Pads - Early Espresso, Old Olive

cs:  Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Poppy Parade

punches:  circle - 3/4" and 1 3/8"

other:  Early Espresso Taffeta ribbon, Stampin' Dimensionals, Simply Scored platform & stylus

How did I make the wreath?  I stamped the little vine stamp from the Tiny Tags stamp set with Old Olive ink in a wreath circular pattern, punched out the center with the 3/4" circle punch, and then punched around that 3/4" "donut hole" with the 1 3/8" circle punch!

Where are dimensionals applied on this card?  Under the Crumb Cake cs strip at the bottom edge of the card, under the "hello" circle, and also underneath the wreath.

The Early Espresso Taffeta ribbon that is used on today's card is retired, so what can I use instead?  Early Espresso is a color choice for the following ribbons, both of which would be a nice subsitute for the ribbon I have used today - 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon (a slightly narrower ribbon) and 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon.
