Tasteful Touches can be a versatile stamp set. It has some great stamps for your background as well as some stand-alone images. There are even some perfect sentiments. Stampin’ Up! has combined this with the In Good Taste DSP. I decided not to use the dies here on my card as to not take away from the beautiful flowers.
The reason for my color choice today is because I have some roses that are called Waiheke. These beauties had some sort of fungus on them so I treated them. Then the Japanese Bettles fell in love with them because they were growing so well. I had to cut off all the beautiful flowers to retreat the roses. Below is a picture of the Waiheke flowers that we cut off. I put them in a vase and put them in my craft room for me to admire when I can not think of anything to do. These inspired the color on today’s card.
These beauties inspired my color choice along with Diana, my donor. She had a love for the peachy colors. I have found myself drawn to them for 26 years. I have stamped the flower in Terracotta Tile and used the light calypso coral blends around the edges of the flower and in the lines of the petals. I then added light and dark Petal Pink Blends to complete the look.

In Good Taste DSP two different pieces that look good together 2 x 5 1/2 inches
Whisper White Cardstock 4 x 5 1/2 inches to adhere to DSP too. Also, you will need some of this to stamp your flowers on. 2 x 11 should be enough to do 3 flowers and two foliage stamps.

You can check out the video that was done from my LIVE on Facebook. My video uses Rococo Rose, Flirty Flamingo, and Petal Pink for the flowers. Rosco Rose is used at the color behind the DSP instead of the Terracotta Tile cardstock.
