Blossoms in Bloom - Stampin'up

 Hello

Blossoms in Bloom stamp and die sets from Stampin'up were used to create these cards.

The large flower image was stamped and the panel then embossed. This was layered on to the card base, then both the open flower dies cut and layered, then mounted over the stamped image. A small die cut flower and a stamped and punched sentiment added, along with a bumblebee trinket and some gems.

The flower piece was die cut then placed on to a white card base layered with green card and antique gold paper.

Gems and bee trinkets were added.

The flower, centres and leaves images were stamped on to white card, layered on to purple card and a white card base. 

Small die cut purple flowers were attached and gems added.

Stardust pens, glitter glue and Glossy accents were applied to all cards.

Enjoy
