Hi everyone,

I have used the flowers from the Fragrant Layers stamp set (#167150) on this card.

The flowers were stamped with Basic Black Hybrid Stampin’ Pad (#166648) onto Basic White card (#166781). These were coloured with the following Stampin’ Blends - Lemon Lolly (#161673), Daffodil Delight (#154883), Darling Duckling (#165288), Golden Glow (#167682) and Shaded Spruce (#154903). This card and the Basic Black card (#121688) were cut with the Everyday Arches dies (#164629). They were taped together then attached to the Daffodil Delight base card (#121680).

“Thinking Of You” is from the Phrases & Frames stamp set (#167581) and stamped with Shaded Spruce ink (#147088). The frame around the sentiment is from the Exciting Times stamp set (#167875) and stamped with the Basic Black Hybrid Stampin’ Pad. The co-ordinating Rounded Rectangle Punch (#167880) was used to punch the sentiment.

The butterfly is from the Extraordinary Life stamp set (#167713), stamped with Basic Black and coloured with Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends. An Extraordinary Life die (#167718) cut the butterfly. The sentiment & butterfly were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The retired Traditional Sparkling Sequins were added to the card.

Fragrant Layers

Hello again everyone,

This floral image is from the Fragrant Layers stamp set (#167150). This is a Two-Step set where you can stamp the outline image, then colour the inside with another stamp. However I have chosen to colour the image with Stampin’ Blends. It’s great to have options.

The image was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) onto Basic White card (#166781). The flowers were coloured with Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends (#161675), the leaves with Pool Party Stampin’ Blends (#154894) and the flower centres with Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends (#161673). I chose these colours as they are the colours in the Pastels Shimmer Specialty Paper (#167198) which I have used on this card. The floral image was fussy cut.

The Bubble Bath card front from this specialty paper was dry embossed with the Beautiful Pattern 3D Embossing Folder (#167097) and matted with Basic Black card (#121688). The Lemon Lolly and Pool Party shimmer papers were cut with a die from the Nested Essentials dies (#161597). These were taped to the card.

“With Love” from the Extraordinary Flora stamp set (#165243) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and cut with a Beautiful Butterflies dies (#164614).

The floral image and sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I cut some leaves using dies from the Fragrant Layers Dies (#167154) using Pool Party card (#124391). I added some extra colour to the leaves with a Sponge Dauber (#133773) & Pool Party ink (#147107). These were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

Clear Wink Of Stella (#141897) was used to add glimmer to the floral image. The Pearlised Faceted Circles (#166978) were the embellishments added to the card.
