Flowering Flourishes

Flowering Flourishes.1212Here’s another quick and easy card for you.  One color of ink, some ribbon and just a few layers and it would work well with any sentiment stamp set.  I actually think I’d like it better using the Sweet Essentials stamp set from yesterday’s card.  This sentiment is from the Petite Pairs stamp set.  It’s what we used in class last month.

The Flowering Flourishes stamp set is one of those that didn’t WOW me when I first saw it in the catalog but grew on me the more I saw it used on cards.

I design a card a little backwards sometimes.  I kind of knew what I wanted the card to look like but I chose the color according to the ribbons available!  Yep, I chose the ribbon first!  I do that a lot since I hardly ever make a card without it.  On this card I chose Elegant Eggplant Scallop Dot Ribbon since I wanted a wider ribbon.  I know, it’s kind of weird.  The ribbons are also the first things I purchase when a new catalog comes out!  🙂

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!
