I ran the smallest piece of Basic White card through the Cut & Emboss Machine with the Gingham Embossing Folder and glued it to the Soft Succulent panel. This was then added to the card front.

Using the Tulip Dies, I cut a bunch of the tulip pieces from scrap Basic White, Fresh Freesia and Gorgeous Grape card along with some leaves from Soft Succulent card. I glued the flower pieces together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Mini Dimensionals to give a 3D effect.

I folded the triangle of dsp into a cone shape then flattened it. The tulip heads were then tucked in and secured with liquid glue. The leaves were cut down and tucked in around the blooms. The bouquet was added to the card front with the liquid glue.

The strips of cardstock were added one at a time to the panel and trimmed off the excess. When all the strips were adhered, I ran the whole piece through the Cut & Emboss Machine with the Ornate Floral Embossing Folder. I really like the effect this gives.

Using the floral image, I randomly stamped all over the Bermuda Bay card front with Bermuda Bay ink.

I inked up the larger rectangle stamp from the Watercolor Shapes stamp set in Pool Party ink. I then rolled the edges around on a Bermuda Bay ink pad, this is known as the rock ‘n roll technique. I then stamped the image onto the smaller panel of Basic White card.

The Queen Anne’s Lace stem and flower image was then stamped in Basic Gray ink. The panel was glued to the Basic Gray panel.

I wrapped a piece of Pool Party Sheer Ribbon around the panel before adding it to the Bermuda Bay card base on Dimensionals.
