Favorite Flowers

Simon's Card Kit for June was just unveiled, and I adore it!  And once more, it's FUN!  I had a ball stamping these fun flowers, and I'm afraid I went a bit overboard with them.

I have 3 cards to show you, roughly using the same elements (I haven't even gotten around to some of the other images in the set yet!).


I love pastel roses, especially pinks and yellows, so I just stamped a panel full of them and added one of the pretty sentiments from the set, along with the pale pink enamel dots included in the kit.  2 of the roses are popped above the rest of the panel, and I used Simon's Cotton Candy cardstock as my card base.


Here's a brighter version, using a few more of the smaller stamp elements.  I used Simon's Doll Pink and Audrey Blue inks, along with Hero Arts Butter Bar, Orange Soda, and Green Hills inks, and enamel dots from a couple of Doodlebug sets of their Sprinkles.  My banner is stamped on Audrey Blue cardstock.


And here I brought in some of the cardstock and design paper from the kit and used more of the included enamel dots in it.  My inks here are Hero Arts Pale Tomato and Mint Julep and Adirondack Denim.

As you can see, I haven't touched so many of the other elements included in the kit.  There's a cute washi tape and some wood veneer flowers and leaves, too!  Don't wait to long to order this one, as I think it's going to be another sell-out!

Amazing that so many cards can be made from just a few of the stamps. I bought the card kit, unfortunately I have misplaced the squiggly leaf stamp. So sad. Wish they would make replacements available.
