Extraordinary Flora Fabulous

Extraordinary Flora Bundle + Phrases & Frames Bundle + Paradise Garden Hybrid Embossing Folder

Today I am participating in the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop.  This months challenge is a color challenge.  Be sure to visit all the links listed below to see everyone's projects using these colors!


May 2026 is a color challenge

I chose to use the Extraordinary Flora Bundle to create my card.  I also chose to use the Phrases & Frames bundle for the sentiments and the beautiful impression dies.

To color my flower's, I used a blending pen and ink directly from my ink pads.... and then I just colored the flowers and leaves.  

Extraordinary Flora Bundle + Phrases & Frames Bundle + Paradise Garden Hybrid Embossing Folder

The flower & leaves stamp is one large stamp and comes with a coordinating die, so the flowers all cut out in one pass of the Stampin' Emboss & Cutting machine.

The frame die is a detail die, so it goes through once to cut it out, then you flip it over with the die still in place, and run it through again using the impressions plate..... this allows for the intricate details to be enhanced.
