Gallery Blooms + Beautiful Motifs Bundles

 This weeks monochromatic Insta Hop color challenge is Peach Pie!  When I'm indecisive about how to design a card around a specific color, I can always make it work with the Gallery Blooms and Beautiful Motifs Bundles. I love how this card turned out and can't wait to sent it out to a friend.

Gallery Blooms + Beautiful Motifs Bundles

When I create the frame, I always cut two of the frame and them glue them together so that they a slightly more rigid on dimensionals.  Peach Pie Stampin' Blends Combo Pack made creating these flowers a breeze!  And I used the same Stampin' Blends to color the heads of the lacy flowers too.  I used just enough Lost Lagoon on the leaves to help the flowers pop!

This idea has been in the back of my head for a couple of weeks, and I finally had the opportunity to try it out......  All metallic trees using the Wow! Metallic Embossing Powders!  It is funny what will inspire a crafter.... in this case it was the ribbon.... Mossy Meadow with Gold.
