I have a basket of bold and beautiful blooms to share today! I love how this color palette turned out!

I started off by die cutting the basket from Country Basket Bouquet from white cardstock, and layering it all together. Then I cut out a TON of the beautiful florals from a mix of Cotton Candy, Creamsicle, Lipstick, Sage, and Dark Chocolate Cardstocks and adhered the centers and two piece flowers together. I die cut one of the Eyelet Layer Frames from Cotton Candy cardstock, and then a smaller one of the Nested Stitched Rectangles from Cream cardstock and layered them together, then added the basket with liquid adhesive over the top. I love the soft contrast of white and cream cardstocks! And then - I went to town adding ALL the florals and greenery to the basket, tucking them in and around, and adhering with liquid glue. Once I was happy with the arrangement, I stamped and added a sentiment from Basket of Blooms, and a secondary sentiment from Reverse Beautiful Friend sentiment strips, die cut with EZ Strips Banners die. A few Mandarin Dazzling Gems finish this card off! Here is a closer look at the final card:

  4. Your card featuring the new Country Basket Bouquet dies is a beauty. The colors you chose to use are vibrant and bring the flower to life. This die set is one that will be used time and time again, it's just that good, by changing the colors of cardstock or ink colors if one chooses to start with white cardstock and color the cardstock with ink or markers it would be easy to change the flowers to go accompany the season. I really like the way you chose to mount your focal image, the eyelet frame panel peeking out from behind the stitched panel gave enough attention to detail while bringing the end in toward the basket, BEAUTIFULLY done, Thanks so much for sharing your gorgeous card.
