Hello everyone! I hope you’re having a wonderful week so far! It’s TaeEun here today with a floral card featuring the Rising Wildflowers product suite, along with several unique products from the January Release. For the background, I combined the Diamond Delight and Modern Mosaic coverplate dies to create subtle texture and visual interest. I also used a sentiment from the Heartfelt Chapters stamp set.

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

Here is how I made the card.

1. Stencil the Rising Wildflowers using the following ink colors.
   - Pink petals : Peony, Raspberry Bliss
   - Orange petals : Mimosa, Fruit Punch
   - Greenery : Sage, Spruce Tips
2. Die cut the stenciled image using the coordinating die.
3. Watercolor an A2-sized Pinkfresh Studio Premium watercolor paper panel:
   - Top left corner in Bubble Gum
   - Bottom right corner in Sunshine and Clementine,
   and allow the panel to dry completely.
4. Die cut the watercolored panel using the Diamond Delight coverplate die.
5. Dry emboss the panel with the Modern Mosaic coverplate die, then adhere it to a white cardbase.
6. Die cut three additional Rising Wildflowers pieces from white cardstock and stack them together, and adhere the stenciled piece on top for added dimension.
7. Add the Rising Wildflowers to the card front.
8. Stamp the sentiment from the Heartfelt Chapters set in Detail Black ink and die cut it using the coordinating die.
9. Stack the sentiment on three additional die-cut layers for dimension.
10. Create a banner using the Basic Banners die from white cardstock ink blended with Peony, then add the sentiment to the bottom of the card, matted with the banner.
11. Finish the card by embellishing with a few Ice clear drops.

If you want to add dimension to delicate die-cut pieces, layering them with additional die-cuts is often a better option than using foam tape. Of course, this step is optional, but as we all know, dimension makes such a difference :) !

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I personally love how a watercolored background gives a more organic feel to a card compared to ink blending. I hope this card inspires you to try watercoloring the background on your next creative project!
