I had so much fun creating this elegant and textured floral card using the Craft-A-Flower: Prairie Roses Layering Die Set. I started by cutting all the floral pieces from white cardstock to allow for custom ink blending. To give the petals a soft, sun-kissed look, I blended Buttercream from the Summer Afternoon Fresh Dye Ink Set, concentrating the color at the centers and edges for added depth. The leaves were cut from green cardstock for a classic, fresh contrast.
For the background, I went with a soft ombré blend in purples, using the Lilac Blossoms Crisp Dye Ink Set — Ultraviolet, Deep Iris, Lavender, Wisteria, and Soft Lilac — working from dark to light. Once the blending was complete, I ran the panel through my die-cutting machine with the Geo Triangles Embossing Folder (retired) to add some subtle texture and geometric interest.
To elevate the background, I mounted it on a white cardstock panel whose edges I heat embossed in gold for a luxe, gilded frame. Then came the fun part — arranging the flowers! I used a mix of liquid glue and foam tape to give the floral elements dimension and movement.
