Kitchen Sink Monday: A Bright Bouquet

Here’s my card for this week’s Kitchen Sink Stamps Monday. I took my inspiration from the current color challenge at Paper Craft Planet. The challenge colors are Real Red, Summer Sun, Certainly Celery, and white. These are some bright colors when you put them together!

I thought the red and yellow shades would make a nice combination for a tulip bouquet, so I pulled out my Bitty Tulip Bouquet set to create this pretty vase of tulips. I used three shades of yellow and 3 shades of red for my flowers. The stems were done using a combination of Certainly Celery and New Leaf. I added in the bowl in shades of blue ink to look like it was clear.

I played around a bit with the layout before coming up with the final version. The red Top Note die piece was in my scrap pile, left over from a previous project. I ended up using that as a mat for the stamped image. I added a piece of dotted red satin ribbon and a trio of red Dew Drops as embellishments. I thought about adding a sentiment, but in the end, decided not to fit one in.
