Hey there stampin' friends! It's time for another Monday Montage Blog Hop! Today I am sharing a card created using the Paper Florist Dies and a whole bunch of gorgeous colors! I'm so sad that the Paper Florist Dies are retiring at the end of this month. They are by far some of my absolute favorite dies.
To create the elements on the card- I began with a piece of Basic White Cardstock. I then used several Blending Brushes (1 for each color) and began adding the ink. I started with Moody Mauve, then Berry Burst, Petunia Pop and Fresh Freesia. After all the colors were applied- I used a Water Painter to flick specks of water all over the colored cardstock. I set this piece aside to dry and began on the coloring for the leaves. The leaves were created in the same exact way however I used Lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple Green for inks.
I then arranged the flowers/leaves onto a Basic White Cardstock layer that was embossed using the Crosshatch Embossing Folder (Basics 3D Embossing Folder-online exclusive). The Happy Birthday Sentiment is from the new Saying Something Epherma Pack in the NEW Annual Catalog. Three Iridescent Foil Gems were added to the centers of 3 flowers to add interest.
