Hi guys! Today Heather and I have more new Avery Elle release projects to share! I am working with the new set called Petals and Stems! If I only get one flower stamp set this year, this is the one I would pick! It's modern and vintage and LOVELY all at the same time:) And the font on the sentiment is fantastic, no?
When you have stamps this beautiful, you just want to showcase those beautiful images! So I took some Speckled cardstock and simply stamped the largest bloom in the set in a warm yellow ink. With Spring coming, have you noticed that yellow seems to be sneaking into my projects lately? For the flower center, I used a pinky orange ink. To get a deeper, more variegated look, I used that well-known trick of shading with a copic. Super easy to do!
I don't know about you, but sentiments cause me all kinds of headaches. Where to put them, what style, what size, what ink!?! Here's my thought process on how I chose this sentiment. I wanted a sentiment large enough to tie together both flowers. I chose a cool gray ink to counterbalance the warm yellow. {The sentiment frame is from the set Framed Fonts and the sentiment is from the set All Occasion Tags.} I really love how it turned out! Classic with a bit of modern.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hop on over to Heather's blog too! She's highlighting the set All Squared Up!
Mahalo and Aloha,
