The thing I really love about flowers is that they can be used year round. Simply swapping out your color palette can transform a bouquet to be appropriate for any season. Especially when it comes to the more whimsical illustration style - because they are recognizable as flowers, but not any particular type.
Our new Hello & Thanks stamps and dies are the perfect all occasion set. I send out more "Hello" or "Just Because" cards than any other kind. I think it's always nice to receive a card when you least expect it...for no particular reason.
The little bouquets in this set are perfect for whipping together quick and easy cards that look like they took way more time than they actually did. For this little duo, I stamped out several of the images in the set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Then used Copics to color in the images. Again, I went super simple with my coloring to push these images a little more towards the modern side. I just used one Copic for each color and laid in a simple flat wash. I left white breaks in some areas to separate some of the areas and add a little more interest.
Those white breaks act as a highlight without any additional work or color blending. I die cut everything using the companion dies and then adhered to a panel die cut with our Stitched Rectangles Die.
The bold sentiments included in the set are the perfect contrast to the thinner more delicate illustrations. You know what they say...opposites attract!
I hope you enjoyed today's post and this look at Hello & Thanks as much as I enjoyed illustrating it! As always, thanks for stopping by!
