Gallery Blooms - Calypso Coral

Gallery Blooms

This card was created for the Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Insta Hop that featured Calypso Coral. The original post on Instagram can be found HERE. You will find the tutorial for this card lower in this post. The product list is at the end of this post.

The original idea was to color the blooms using the Stampin' Blends, but the color was much darker than I had in mind.... so I started over. I achieved the exact color tone I was looking for by using the Calypso Coral ink pad and blender pen. I describe this process in the assembly instructions.
