Keeping Thanks Simple: Day 4

Today's card features another thank-you sentiment from Keep It Simple: Thank You. This time, the sentiment is falling with a cascade of autumnal flowers...accented with bling.




These simple, stylized daisies come in three sizes in Beautiful Blooms II from Papertrey. I love, love, love that there are three sizes! The largest are stamped in the lightest color, the mediums in the medium shade, and the smallest in the darkest orange. This ordering of shades and sizes--aside from satisfying my obsessive tendencies--keeps the card light and fun, and provides a better contrasting background so the very dark sentiment stands out.

Supplies
stamps: Papertrey
ink: Hero Arts, Memento
paper: Papertrey
accessories: rhinestones

    Susan, other than it's your prerogative, would you explain why you placed your sentiment where you did please? I would have put it to the right of the lower two large blossoms. Love the card and reasoning for bigger to smaller and lighter to darker. TIA!
