Purple and Pink Daisies

Spring has officially arrived in Texas and with it a huge array of beautiful flowers. Although I have had 3 Step Honey Bunny by Kitchen Sink Stamps for some time, this is the first time I have inked this wonderful daisy which comes with that set! This purple daisy was created for the Clean and Simple Challenge at Splitcoaststampers which required a monochromatic card!! A little reminiscent of last week, don't you think??

Stamps: Honey Bunny Multi Step Clear Stamps and Words of Love Clear Stamps
by Kitchen Sink Stamps

Papers: Lovely Lilac, Elegant Eggplant, and US White by Stampin' Up

Inks: Almost Amethyst, Lovely Lilac, and Elegant Eggplant by Stampin' Up

Embellishment: Grosgrain ribbon and Spica Pen

Tools: Nestabilities - Label 2


For my second card, I stamped each blossom in Pink Pirouette on US White panels cut out with my Labels 1 from Nestabilities.

The second layer of each blossom was stamped in Pretty in Pink, the third in Pixie Pink, and the fourth in Pink Passion. I sponged the edge of the Label 1 panel with Close to Cocoa and layered that on the next size Label 1 cut from Pretty in Pink and sponged with Pixie Pink. On the center floral panel I stamped tiny flowers from Hey, Chick! to give it a little more lift from the page.

I dolled the panels up a little with tiny rows of rhinestones and used dimensionals to attach the center floral panel over the back two.

The wonderful sentiment comes from 3 Step Hibiscus also by Kitchen Sink and is stamped with Close to Cocoa.
