Stampin' Up! Botanical Blooms KISS

For the launch of the Stampin' Up! 2016-17 annual catalogue, I decided to theme it KISS, Keep It Simple Sweetheart ;-).  I wanted to ensure that my customers would go home with a handful of cards, but still learn a technique or two!  The ever versatile Botanical Builder thinlit dies was used to create this gorgeous layouts I cased from Pinterest created in the 2016-18 in colours...

A Crafty Cat: Stampin' Up! Botanicals for You

I just love the simplicity of the side die cut coloured card stock, Which was stamped with a greeting in the coordinating coloured ink, and then mounted on the base card of Whisper White.  The three flowers were cut from the Botanical Blooms, sponged from the centre in coordinating ink, and mounted with glue dots and a rhinestone in the centre of each.

The petals of each flower were softened and shaped a little with a bone...  gives great dimension...
