It’s time for the Stamp Review Crew: Beautiful Bouquet Edition! If this is your very first visit to one of our hops, the Stamp Review Crew is a group of international Stampin’ Up! demonstrators whose mission is to do a blog hop on the first, third and fifth Mondays of each month. Our hops are unique because each of us features the same stamp set used in a variety of ways, giving you loads of inspiration for that set. The hops are archived at the Stamp Review Crew blog. You will be able to click through each hop at any time, going directly to the posts for that hop whenever you want. This week we are featuring the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set. If you are following along in order, you have just arrived from my good friend, Mike Funke. After visiting me, you will continue to the next stop, the talented Bronwyn Eastley.
Beautiful Bouquet
Beautiful Bouquet is one of my favorite sets. Most of what I have created with it was designed using brighter colors and the larger flower images. This time, however, I decided to highlight it in more subtle tones. I hope you enjoy today’s card.
Colors of the Day
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
Because I wanted to keep the look soft and subtle, I created my own paper by using washes of Highland Heather and Pool Party for the flowers. The leaves are Whisper White, while the stems are Soft Sea Foam.
For a bit of bling, I added a single rhinestone and several of the new Share What You Love Artisan Pearls.
The Basket Weave 3D Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder adds a touch of texture, and provides the perfect back drop for the bouquet. The simple sentiment is accented with more pearls, of course!
I love the soft and delicate look of this card. To show you how Beautiful Bouquet looks in brighter colors with larger flowers, here is the card I CASED for the On the CASE with Ann and Nicole series:

The subtle, soft colors are GORGEOUS! (I bet you are awesome w live flowers as well!!) I can begin to imagine how many pcs of each color, shape you had to cut for this cards.
I think this is one of the best stamp/die sets I have ever had. The possibilities are endless. Love your cards.
Pretty bouquets.
Two gorgeous bouquets against the embossed backgrounds. Love the beautiful, subtle colours in the first.
Great pairings of the embossing folders with your colourful bouquets Ann
Beautiful job, Ann….love the woven basket background with this set.
I love both cards, Ann, but the subtle colors of the first bouquet are really beautiful. I have not used the new purples, but I have saved this card to replicate!
So beautiful Ann! The colour palette on your first card is so soft and dreamy, love the textural look as well. Xx
Simply stunning, i love this card!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this card!!!
I love this stamp set. I have already made several cards using it and the ideas just seems endless.
Oh my – just the sweetest combination of colours Ann, so gorgeous! Kelly x
Oh, Ann, this card is just amazing! It reminds me of the fistful of flowers my children used to bring me only a whole lot more elegant. [Theirs had dirt and bugs still hanging onto the stems and petals. I like the pearls a whole lot better.]
Gorgeous! Those colors are beautiful–Heather is perfect name for that color and perfect for the bouquet! That basetweave sets a beautiful stage for the flowers. TFS.
Gorgeous. Love how you did the flowers.
I love both of your cards, they are so beautiful! Smile BIG! 🙂
