Panelled Background with Irresistible Blooms!

Hello Everyone,

I haven’t used this stamp set for a little while so here’s 2 cards in very different colours!

The background panel was made by layering some strips of cardstock on to a neutral layer.

I started by blending some ink from one side and stamping with the splatter image to add texture.

You can see how I coloured the flowers in my video tutorial….

The punched sentiment and die cuts were added with dimensionals and helped hide a little mistake with the layering!

This variation uses some of the 2024 in colours!
