I really hope you like these, because I thought they turned out great! But you know me and my monochromatic kick… I know it's not for everyone.
I don't even know where all these little punched flowers came from. I was doing some cleaning out of my scrap bin this week and stumbled across a baggie with seriously, like 200 of these tiny punches, all the same color (Island Indigo). What on earth do you suppose they were from???
So I just started playing. I used all but six of them by the time I was done!
If you're looking to make your own version, the little flower punch is from the Itty Bitty Accents punch pack, and the stamp set is Label Love with the coordinating Artisan Label Punch (which by the way, happen to be on the Weekly Deals this week! Nifty how that worked out).
Shall we have some fun with this one? BLOG CANDY TIME!! Leave a comment below and tell me which of the four is your favorite and what other color scheme you think it would look good in. I'll send you the card you liked best AND a free stamp for the back of your cards!
I really love the way you use the flower punches. Very subtle but oh so effective! I’ll be sure to use this as inspiration
I love all of them. They look really elegant and you could make them in the colour of the brides maids or the favourite colour of the couple.
Hmm it’s a near-tie between number 1 and 4, but I think my favorite is number 1, just cause it’s not as symmetrical as 4. I like off-kilter!
Thanks for sharing, I love to see your fantastic creations.
I forgot to add, I think whatever the wedding colors are would be great for these cards — they’d look good in any color, even white!
I have to pick just one???? They’re all gorgeous! If I had to, though, I would probably say the third. Or the fourth.
OK, the fourth.
And Blackberry Bliss is my new favorite color, so I would probably use that with Whisper White.
Beautiful cards, Lyssa!
I really like them all, but the 4th one with the embossed lines is probably my favorite. I really like Island Indigo, but I think these layouts could be used with just about any color (matching the bride’s favorites perhaps?) and they would be darling. Thanks for sharing!
I liked the last one the best, the one with the raised embossed diagonal lines.
Love them all, but favorite is the fourth…something about the embossing and the way the flowers accents it! Would love to see it all in white for a wedding!
I love them all, but I think I like number 4 best. I think very vanilla would look very nice for a wedding card with crumb cake for the lettering.
I like the Firestone the best but I also thought the circle of flowers was cool because it reminded me of a wedding ring.
Oops, I meant to say “first one” instead of Firestone!
Oh my goodness! These are stunning! I love them all ,but if I had to pick my favorite,I guess it would be the one with the scored diamonds. I am so CASEing these,if that is OK with you! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Lyssa……put simply…they rock. these could be turned to ANY bridal colour scheme and maintain the spectacular nature of their simplicity. So love them all. I think #4 (the scored one) is the fave altho the wee ring one is delish too.
Congrats on sticking all those flowers ooxx
I like the 4th one best, but all of them are pretty! So many color options–melon mambo & gumball green for a teen girl card would be so cute! how about basic gray & daffodil delight or 2 tones of the same color? so many options! thanks for the inspiration!
They are all very pretty but my favorite is number 4. I plan to make one in Pool Party, Thank you for all of your wonderful ideas,
i like the wreath one
I like the 4th one the best. I’d like to see it in black and white with accents of silver. Maybe emboss the black stamp and add a silver layer or the color of the wedding (light pink) behind it?
I’m visualizing this in Crisp Cantaloupe or Lost Lagoon…but I agree it would be beautiful in ANY color (Smoky Slate would be my next choice.) I like #3 the best, but might try it with the score lines you have in #4.
And…SO many pearls! I love it.
I like them all! But will probably CASE #4, so that’s my pick!
Wait, maybe its the first one. LOL! Such cute variations!
I love all of them but the 4th one down, the last one, definitely my fav! I think it would also be beautiful made with some of the colors in the ‘Subtles’ especially the pinks, beautiful cards Lyssa!
Really like them all but the one that caught my eye was the last one! Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
My favorite is #1. I love the flowers arranged vertically and the random pearl sizes. I’m loving cards with rainbow elements lately – I wonder how these would look with a white background and flowers in all the colors of the rainbow? If I had the punch, I’d be tempted to give it a try.
Love them all! But my favorite one is the last one!! Love all your creative inspiration.
I love the last one, plane but elegant!! My favorite color too!!!
I like number 4. White for a wedding.
4 th one; also in white!
I like the last one best! I’m a big fan of black and white for weddings, but right now I’m loving Blackberry Bliss!
I love them all, too, but the last one is my favorite. I think it might look nice in Strawberry Slush!
I love the first card with the flowers vertical on the right side… Another color that would be great would be a light gray with the pearl. 😀
I like the top one the best
it’s between 3 & 4 for me….I’ll go with #4!
I like the fourth one the best. It would look good in all white with just the color on the label or maybe on the pearls…
I just love number 3! So clean and elegant, and the negative space is perfect. I think I’ll have to recreate this one in Perfect Plum…but wouldn’t Rich Razzleberry look divine?!?!?
Love the monochromatic look. They’re all beautiful but I think my favorite is number 4 followed very closely by number 1.
They are ALL so pretty, it’s super hard2choose. Love how the flowers look different depending on pearl size.at 1st look it doesn’t appear they are all the same size! I have to go with the first one vertical style. My initial choice for an alternative colour scheme would be blackberry bliss but perhaps it’s too dark. I think maybe Melon mambo or lost lagoon would be good.
I love the last card. I think is beautiful as is but it would also be beautiful in white with maybe some pale pink.
They are all beautiful but I think I would pick the last one as my favorite. …probably would chose the bride’color but if doing for birthday I would chose elegant envy or a pretty pink.love your work.
All four are great! But the forth one is the tops! This card would look great in white with pearls! Any color really.
I like them all but number 4 is my favorite!
wow, they are all CUTE but I think I like the wreath version best…or maybe the scored crisscross version? Talk about an upsell for the Basic Pearls! lol!
My favorite is the first one. I would use Wisteria Wonder and perfect plum, I think that would look cool. 🙂
I like the top one best. The card would also look great in any color. I would try pink pirouette for the next card.
Hi Lyssa! I think I like #4 the best but really they all look fantastic. Perhaps Wisteria Wonder might be a nice look as well. Thanks!
Hi Lyssa! I think I like #4 the best but really they all look fantastic. Perhaps Wisteria Wonder might be a nice look as well. Thanks!
Where did my comment go? I had number 1 as my favorite and would use wisteria wonder and plum.
Great job!
I like number two, although I would probably have to get a straight edge out, and make a gradient of the sizes of the pearls. OCD strikes again!
Love how the same materials can make so many different pretty designs.
They are all fabulous, but #4 seems to be clean and balanced. However, the other 3 cards are also clean and I like the way each one has a negative look to them. As far as other colors, I think any color would look good, I would probably try a shade different between the base card and the flowers so that the flowers stand out alittle more and don’t get lost. It is hard to just pick one – because I like them all. I guess I would pick #4, only because it caught my eye first. You keep me inspired.
Great Job! Lyssa
I like the first one the best! Number four is very elegant as well.
Hi Lyssa! Personally, I liked them all, but if I had to choose just one, it would be #4. It’s the quilting technique that really caught my eye. It would look good in any color, especially Coastal Cobana for a springtime feeling. Can we do this in club?
I loved them all but number 4 was my favorite.
