1. Create a white, top-folding A2 card base and set aside.
2. Die cut the Petal Mosaic from white cardstock.
3. Ink blend with the coordinating stencil set:
   1. Stencil 1: Ocean Breeze
   2. Stencil 2: Summer Shower
   3. Stencil 3: Ballet Slipper
4. Adhere the background panel to the prepared card base using liquid glue.
5. Die cut the stems and leaves from white cardstock twice and adhere the layers together for added stability.
6. Ink blend the flowers using the Bloomsmith Florals stencil set:
   1. Stencil 1: Ballet Slipper, Ocean Breeze, Summer Shower 
   2. Stencil 2: Skip
   3. Stencil 3: Ballet Slipper
7. Die cut the stenciled flowers with the coordinating Bloomsmith Florals die.
8. Die cut a panel from white cardstock using the Blanket Stitched Rectangle die.
9. Arrange and adhere the stems and leaves to the rectangle using liquid glue. Gently curl some of the leaves upward for added dimension.
10. Add the flowers using a mix of liquid glue, thin foam tape, and thick foam tape to create varied height.
11. Adhere the completed floral panel to the card front using foam tape.
12. Leave the design sentiment-free to highlight the soft color palette and layered dimension.

I love how this card feels soft, dimensional, and elegant without being overly complicated. The gentle color palette combined with layered die cuts creates beautiful interest while still maintaining a clean, refined look.

This type of design is perfect when you want your florals and texture to take center stage—and it’s a great reminder that sometimes less really is more.

I hope this project inspires you to experiment with soft ink blending and layered dimension. I’d love to see what you create!

Happy crafting!
