Pinkfresh Hibiscus

For today's card I used the Hibiscus stamps and dies from Pinkfresh Studio. I wasn't sure if I was going to even use all the elements in the set as there are so many, but I did actually use all the pieces and I like how it turned out. I thought it might look too busy, but it's flowers and leaves and how can nature look too busy, right? 

So I went with it and added two mats in coordinating colors. The background design is the basket weave stencil by My Favorite Things. I think it adds to the tropical feel of the hibiscus. 

I cut the sentiment in white cardstock then inked in the flower colors, stacked a few white ones then added one in black for a shadow effect against the colors of the flowers. It really made a difference rather than just the colored letters on their own. Then for even more pop, I covered it in glossy accents. 

With all the stacking and layering of the flower pieces, I felt the sentiment needed to be popped up and I do like the look of it. Hope you do too! Feel free to comment or email me with any questions. Thanks for looking.
