Crazy for You

 The new Crazy About You stamp set is super fun, with its two flowers, leaves, and tons of sentiments that you can mix and match to say so many things.  Pair it with the Hello You thinlits, and the fun never ends. 

Here, a Certainly Celery card base sets off the big "thanks" cut out of Calypso Coral. The flowers are stamped in Calypso Coral and Crisp Canteloupe on Whisper White card stock.  The leaves and the sentiment are stamped in Wild Wasabi.  The ribbon I used is from a previous year's sale-a-bration.  If you don't have it, try Painted Blooms cotton twine in Wild Wasabi, or the 1/2" seam binding in Wild Wasabi.  If you like the skinny ribbon, try the 1/8" taffeta in Crushed Curry or the 1/4" cotton in Daffodil Delight.



To add just a little more "pop" to the card, I started with a card base of Wild Wasabi, and layered a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Certainly Celery on top.  The Whisper White rectangle is also layered onto Wild Wasabi.  The only other change is to add a couple of pearls to the center of the flowers.  I'm thinking that a couple of candy dots would have been nice, too, to add color to the flowers' centers.
