1, 2, 3 - It's a New KSS Challenge!

Good morning!  Since it's the first Monday of the month we have a new Kitchen Sink Stamps Crew Challenge for you - another chance to win one of several fabulous prizes!!  Check out the Kitchen Sink Stamps Blog for all the rules and details.

Our challenge today is from Angela:

Easy as 1, 2, 3

Use only 1 Pop Dot, 2 Embellishments (of your choice), and 3 different stamped images. You can use as many layers as you'd like, but please don't use more than the items listed. Want to use ribbon? That counts as one embellishment, but...you can use as many different types of ribbon as you'd like. Make sense?

Ok, here's my card.  I made a mini card, it's 5" x 3" and I love this size!  I used one of the newest sets, Multi-Step Sunflowers with it's different size sunflowers and super cute watering can!  I used one of the smaller sunflowers and made it red instead of yellow (like you see in the bottom left picture on this page).  

As I was  making my card I didn't know whether my flower, stem and leaf stamps counted as 3 images or if the flower as a whole was 1 but since it was late I made an executive decision and decided they were 3 images - lol!!  I used 1 pop dot on the leaf.  My 2 embellisments are ribbon (including the vintage lace) and a brad.  I decided to leave it blank for now and decide on a sentiment when I need it.


What a fun challenge this was and I just love that flower!  Here's my ink recipe, oh and for steps 2 & 3, I just inked around the outside of the flower, the petals, without inking the center so it wouldn't get too dark:

Flower:

Step 1- Apricot Appeal, 
Step 2 - Ladybug Red
Step 3 - Rhubarb Stalk
Step 4 - Rich Cocoa
Sep 5 - Chocolate Chip

Leaf:
Step 1 - Pear Tart
Step 2 - Bamboo Leaves
Step 3 - Old Olive
