I stamped the image from the Bloom & Grow stamp set using Black Memento ink on to Thick Whisper White card and then cut it out using the coordinating Budding Blooms dies. As soon as I saw the little flowers I thought that they resembled forget-me-nots, so I coloured them with my Balmy Blue Blends. The larger flowers were coloured in Rococco Rose to transform them into elegant blousy roses. You just need to imagine the exquisite, heady perfume and you'll be transported to an archetypal English cottage garden. The foliage is coloured using either Old Olive Blends or my Wink of Stella Glitter brush.
I picked the colours for base card and layers to coordinate with the colours I'd used for the flowers, but I wanted a neutral layer for the flowers to sit directly on. I chose Sahara Sand. The simple 'hello' greeting was stamped into the corner of the layer before it was embossed using the Subtle embossing folder - it might be subtle, but it adds a delightful, simple texture to the card. More neutral elements were added with ribbon and twine wrapped around the centre of the card. The swithe of flowers sit proud of the card by lifting them with Dimensionals.
As well as dies to coordinate with the flowers and leaves in the stamp set, the Budding Blooms set contains a die with a trio of tiny flowers. I cut several of these from Balmy Blue card to make more forget-me-nots - the centres are gold metallic pearls. The very final touch was to add a squirt of shimmery spray all over the card. I have a spray bottle filled with a mixture of Wink of Stella Glitter and alcohol which can be added liberally when you need a bit of shimmer!
