Think in threes is the WT575 Challenge hosted by Sabrina (Cook22). Fun challenge, Sabrina!!
I have on my card three flowers and three Swarovski Crystals.
I created the floral images by strategically placing them on my MISTI before stamping. Love the MISTI! After stamping the floral images onto the panel with SU inks, I used Copics to enhance the flowers and fill in the white spaces. After stamping the images onto the card stock, I stamped them onto a piece of Frog Tape to use as masks over the images before adding the stems. I used the swirly stamp from the SU Everything Eleanor Stamp Set to create the stems for the flowers.
As for the ribbon, I punched two slots near the bottom of the "stems" to thread the ribbon through. I threaded both ribbon ends through the slots on the front side, crisscrossed the ends on the back side, and threaded the ribbon ends through the back to the front. That gives the appearance of a ribbon being tied into a knot.
After finishing my panel, I spritzed Hello Honey ink onto the Whisper White panel.
Enjoy and TFL and commenting!

Your combination of stamping and enhancing looks great, Bev - especially the big pink blossom which has such dimension. That's a great way of adding ribbon to a stem without the bulk of a knot! Thanks for playing along, I'm glad you enjoyed the challenge.

Beautiful !! Love the flowers and the three colors. Clever idea to use the swirl as the stems. I like how you did the ribbon! I like the three accents at the top and your three layers. You rocked this challenge! TFS

That misti really does change stamping, doesn't it? The placement of your floral images is perfect along with your stellar coloring, Bev. Such a pretty card you've brought to the gallery.
