Hey Friends!
It's time for some Inspiration Friday fun at The Greetery and it's my turn to share today! I haven't used the Winterberry Bouquet goodies in quite awhile and I love them so much, so I decided to pull them out for a play again! One of my favorite things to do when stamping, is to pull out older sets and pair them with brand new goodies, so this provided a perfect opportunity to do exactly that!
I paired this gorgeous floral with the more recently released Ribbon Maker: Large Scallops Die, the Big Branches: Ruscus Die, the Tagged Elegance sentiment stamp set and the oldie but goodie sentiment set, Sentiment Suite: Birthday.
Such a fun combo and honestly, even though most of these dies and stamps were part of winter or holiday releases, depending on your color choices, you could make these cards for year round occasions. I mean, just picture some really fun, juicy colored berries for a summer card, paired with some bright green ruscus! Loads of options with these goodies!
I'll never not love pinks and reds together, and think it makes for such a fun birthday card here!
PRO TIP: Choose a fun color for that ruscus, so it really pops behind your blooms! The minty shade of green I chose here, coordinates well with the stems on the bloom cluster, while being different than the ink shades I used. It just adds another layer of depth in your greens!
PRO TIP: Use multiple shades of green on the leaves when you're blending on the ink with the stencils! It gives the leaves SO much more depth than if you just use one flat color!
PRO TIP: Last one.....To get the most out of that ruscus die here, snip apart some of the little branches, so you can tuck each cluster just where you want it, so it can have maximum visibility!
