CARD
This set is very beautiful, easy to work with and quite forgiving (I’m talking about not perfectly aligned layers situation). I made a card with a bit of a vintage feel using the new set.
The card was very quick and easy to make. First I die-cut all elements of the set several time each out of a white cardstock.
Next I stamped the flowers in violet and “white”, leaves were stamped in green. All inks are linked below if you’re interested in exact colors I used. To make white flowers I skipped the first bottom layer and stamped the rest using the lightest gray inks I own – Morning Frost and Evening Gray.
I make a card base out of a Parchment Cardstock and added splatters of the Pure White Ink Spray onto it. After that I adhered all stamped die-cut elements onto it forming a floral bouquet.
I made a sentiment using stamps from the Birthday Builder Stamp Set by white embossing on black and then fussy cutting with my scissors. The sentiment then was popped onto the card using black adhesive foam squares.
Lastly I added several Snow Crystals.

I love this! The white speckles make me think of how crocus are usually coming up when there is still a touch of snow on the ground!

I love this card! When i think of crocus flowers, I think the first flower of spring…usually pushing it’s way through the lasgg of winter snow. This card, with the white splatters, reminded me of just that.
