More beautiful than any bouquet...

 

Hello again!

It's time for a new digital stamp release at Sweet November Stamps and today we have added three lovely girls, each with their own unique bouquet, in the May Flowers collection. Lizzie, Mary Kate and Cleo are just as pretty as the blooms that they are holding.

I created all three of my cards in a similar layout design so they would coordinate as matching set. This first one features Lizzie with her bouquet of tulips and lilies, in a pretty color palette of rosy pinks, cream and soft peach.

My second card is all about Mary Kate with her bouquet of roses and daisies. Her color palette includes various purple shades, from the pale lavender roses to the darker violets peeking out here and there.

Finally, we have Cleo with her white peonies and oleander mixed with a couple branches of cherry blossoms for the pop of pretty pink in the bouquet. 

Now be sure to check out the Friends of Sweet November Stamps group on Facebook for even more May Flowers beauties from the rest of our talented design team. Also, don't forget, I will be coloring Live today at 11am PDT over on my Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page and I hope to see ya there!

I've made three cards to share during the hop today and this first one is a long slimline that finds the cute squirrel from the Adventure in the Air set soaring through the sky in his single prop airplane. He is towing a special message for the folks watching from the ground below thanks to the Greetings Banner set. The little stars and sprinkles trailing behind the plane add to the fun of this high flying scene.

Next up we have this cute little bear pilot from the Oceans to Fly set, striking a hero pose just before take off. I love his confidence and how he really does look like he is ready for an adventure. I colored him and his plane into a simple scene that shows the long runway stretching off into the distance. It won't be long before this cutie hops into that plane and flies off into the big blue beyond. 

Finally, I've combined stamps from both the Oceans to Fly set and the Adventure in the Air set to capture this cute fly by between the bunny pilot and the foxy flying ace. Stamping them at odd angles and partially off the card front gave me plenty of room for both on this A2 sized card, plus it adds energy and movement to the over-all design. The small sentiment is another one from the Greeting Banner set and I thought it was perfect with these two high flying friends.  :)

 

Okay, time to send you on your way... thanks for stopping by and enjoy the hop!
