sbc market bloom florals & blooming sentiments

Do you love making floral cards? They are some of my favorite!!! Let me show you my latest...

Scrapbook.com's Market Blooms Florals are already one of my favorite die sets but the Blooming Sentiments stamps (found in Laura Graff's SBC Fest kit...more on that later) have me falling in love with the flowers all over again!

The "Bloom bravely..." sentiment is just GORGEOUS and it was so easy to create with! I started by stamping the sentiment on a white cardstock to use as guide for the placement of the flowers.

Then I die cut the flowers, saving the positive pieces to add later.

I ink blended the front of my folded card with Distress Oxide Picked Raspberry and Carved Pumpkin. Then I added a little Distress Spritz Picked Raspberry over the ink blending. I couldn't capture the amazing shimmer in the pics but it's awesome!

I adhered the stamped panel with the negative flower cuts over the ink blending. Then I added color to the positive flower die cuts with more ink blending, added black flower middles and adhered them on the card front.

I love the combination of the positive and negative die cuts! It gives the card texture but makes it still easy to mail!

Before you leave, let's chat about SBC Fest! It's a virtual cardmaking & scrapbooking event coming up on March 14th! It's going to be packed with fabulous tutorials & techniques and it's FREE! I can't wait! And you can find more HERE and I highly recommend it for some crafty fun!
