Lovely & Beautiful in Balmy Blue

Simply Beautiful Bundle + Beautifully Celebrated Dies

Balmy Blue is this weeks Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Insta Hop color. This Balmy Blue card has been in my head for weeks! I just knew it was going to be beautiful paired with silver heat embossing! I used the Simply Beautiful Bundle & Beautifully Celebrated Dies to create this card.

Simply Beautiful Bundle + Beautifully Celebrated Dies

I love my Stampin' Blends and they were perfect for this project. Coloring these heat embossed images was actually quite relaxing. The silver frame was created by using the 2 largest dies. You see them again inside the card, but instead of a frame, they are a matte layer and message liner.

The inner sentiment comes from the Forever Florals stamp set #167440, that will be available to customers starting March 3rd.

I created this card to participate in a team sketch challenge, and knew immediately that I wanted to use the Nature's Walk Collection. Besides the gorgeous DSP, there is also the Natural Hues 12" x 12" Textured Specialty Paper. I used that for the golden set of leaves.
