Kitchen Sink Bouquets
Good morning and Happy Monday! Quick post . . baby's getting up. I played a bit more with my Kitchen Sink Stamps 3 Step Hearts & Roses set today. I wanted to try and make a bouquet so I also used my 3 Step Daisies set and 3 Step Holly & Mistletoe (I used the mistletoe image to try amd make it look like either hydrangeas or delphiniums - did it work?)
I know this layout is almost exactly like one last week but as I was putting these cards together anything I added just overtook the card and took away from those beautiful flowers! Even putting the panel on a colored card just didn't look good! Got any ideas? What would you do? Do you like the one with the ribbon or without?
The colors are somewhat inspired by my bridal bouquet (without the pink) . . . I had yellow roses (which are my favorite!), white lisiathus and white/green hydrangeas - it was beautiful!! The other flowers around the church also had pale blue delphiniums in them.Be sure to stay tuned - on March 3 KSS is releasing 4 new sets!! They are just so amazing! I can't wait to get mine and start playing . . . a couple Easter "themed" that as so great! Have a nice day!

Beautiful, love how you did it, would not add anything, think it is perfect on white cardstock, the image says it all
ReplyDeleteWow. They're beautiful, gorgeous, incredible...and I'd love to get my hands on some of these 3-step stamsp...as for your question, I prefer the one without ribbon...let's the flowers shine through.
