Hello everyone, hope you’re having a great week so far! It’s TaeEun here today sharing a couple of floral cards featuring some brand new items from the Flourish & Glow Release! This Release went live today with a fun blog hop! So I hope you don’t miss it !
I’ve created two cards using Moonlit Blooms suite and the Diamond Lattice coverplate die from the new release, using each of them only once. You’ll see what I mean :) ! Let’s take a look at how I made them.

*Disclaimer: All products used are linked below as clickable images. If a product isn’t listed, it’s been discontinued.

Here's how I put it together:

1. Heat emboss the Moonlit Blooms image in white on white cardstock.
2. Color the image using the coordinating stencils in the following ink colors:
   - Flowers: Coral Reef, Berrylicious, Mango Sorbet
   - Greenery: Blue Jay, Hydrangea
3. Die cut the image using the coordinating die.
4. Transfer Berrylicious and Blue Jay ink onto an acetate sheet, spritz with clear water, and apply the color onto a mixed media paper panel for a soft watercolor effect.
5. Let the panel dry, then cut it using the Diamond Lattice die.
6. Carefully remove the cutting plate and the die, secure the panel with a piece of Press'n Seal and adhere small pieces of foam tape to the back of the tiny square pieces.
7. Adhere the small square pieces to a white cardbase, then pull out the lattice portion.
8. Foam-mount the lattice piece onto another white cardbase to create the background for the second card.
9. Cut a white oval frame using the Nested Ovals: Double Stitch die, add the oval frame to the first card and the inner oval piece to the second card.
10. Cut white greenery using the Fresh Florals die, add it to the oval frame of the first card before adding the larger floral image from the stenciled Moonlit Blooms.
11. Lightly ink blend a piece of white cardstock in Blue Jay and cut it with the Moonlit Blooms coordinating die.
12. Add the smaller Moonlit Blooms image to the second card, matting it with the die cut piece from 11. slightly offset and raised with foam tape.
13. Add highlights to the flowers with a white gel pen.
14. Stamp the sentiments from the Cozy Blooms stamp set in Detail Black, cut them with the coordinating dies, and add them to the cards as shown in the picture - for the first card, mat the sentiment with a white banner cut using the Basic Banners die.
15. Embellish the first card with two Ice Clear Drops on the oval frame, and the second card with three Sapphire Jewels for a finishing touch.

Tip1 Don’t discard your negative die-cuts! You can easily create a second card by using the leftover pieces.

Tip2 For a soft blended effect, use acetate or clear packaging to transfer ink onto paper. Using the ink smooshing technique, you can create a soft, organic watercolor effect with just your ink pads.
