INSTRUCTIONS 1. Create a 4 ¼” x 5 ½” card base from Pale Gray Cardstock. 2. Next, stamp the large floral image from Wild Flora Stamp Set onto watercolor cardstock with Limestone Crisp Dye Ink. 3. Paint the flower petals with Watercolor Brush Markers. Wet one petal at a time with clear water, and then drop in Persian Blue at the base and Purple Wine towards the tip. As the petal dries, the colors will blend together. Continue until all petals have been painted. 4. Add additional layers to intensify the shadows of some petals. 5. Continue painting in the same manner using Warm Sunshine and Paper Bag for the flower centers and Limeade and Moss for the leaves and stems. 6. Ink splatter your card base, die cut the flowers, and mount them onto the card base. 7. Finally, stamp your sentiment and adhere sequins.

INSTRUCTIONS 1. Create a 4 ¼” x 5 ½” card base from Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock. 2. Start your card by creating an ink blended background. Blend Starlight and Autumn Blaze Crisp Dye Inks onto a Classic Crest Solar White panel, and then add splatters of clear water and Pure White Ink Spray. 3. For the cover die-look replication, use Fine Bouquet Die. 4. Make several die-cuts using this cover die out of cream cardstock and adhere them onto the panel. Place them next to each other to imitate the look of the continuous design. 5. After that, mount the panel onto your card base and pop up the sentiment strip onto the card. The strip was made by white heat- embossing stamps from the Birthday Builder Stamp Set onto a Jet Black Cardstock. 6. Lastly, add several white enamel dots.

6 YOU AMAZE ME
BY VIRGINIA LU SEE MORE ON OUR BLOG
INSTRUCTIONS 1. Create a 4 ¼” x 5 ½” card base from Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock. 2. Build the floral scene by stamping the background first with Build-A-Flower: Trump Tulip Layering Stamp & Die Set onto a panel of Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock. 3. Since the tulip is large in size, stamp the leaves with various greens such as Hunter Green and Frayed Leaf Crisp Dye Inks. For the tulip, use Crimson Crisp Dye Ink as your darkest shade and gradually add the depth with each color layering. 4. Finally, add enamel dots for the finished look.
TIPS
• To build up the layers of colors, start with the background (add a tint of color), and stamp images with various shades.
• Masking is also a great way to create depth.
• To add dimensions, pop up a few pieces on top of the stamped images. You now have many layers of colors without adding lots of bulk!
