I'm still on a Brushed Blooms kick and couldn't resist creating a card that brought the two sets together.  I just love the images and dies from this bundle, so I brought in some of the True Love Designer Series Paper that was cut with the 2nd to largest scallop stitched rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies set.  To tone down the starkness of the Basic Black, I overlayed a piece of Vellum cardstock.

I borrowed some inspiration for the Basic White layer from the January-June 2021 mini catalog (page 28).  It consists of a mix of Mint Macaron brushstrokes and Beautiful Brushstrokes Dies.  I first stamped the image from the Brushed Blooms stamp set randomly across the page and filled in with the brushstrokes die pieces.  Then used the little polka dot image inked with Memento, stamped off once, and stamped randomly across the whole area.  Super fun to create your own backgrounds using stamps and dies.

The flower arrangement is made up of Mango Melody and Flirty Flamingo with Soft Sea Foam leaves and Mint Macaron leaf veins...all cut with dies from the Beautiful Brushstrokes Dies set.  For a little softness, I accented the flowers with some White Baker's Twine from the Snail Mail Twine Combo pack.  The sentiment from Heal Your Heart was inked with Memento and trimmed and popped up with Dimensionals.

CONGRATULATIONS to our last month's Blog Hop Winner!

The largest flower is inked with Mango Melody and the two smaller flowers are inked with Flirty Flamingo...all die cut with the corresponding die that comes in the Beautiful Brushstrokes Dies set.  The leaves are a combination of inked images (Soft Sea Foam) and die cuts from Soft Sea Foam cardstock.  The inked leaves have a matching die, too, making everything on the card a die cut, except the sentiment.  It was inked with Tuxedo Black Memento and stamped onto a thin strip of Basic White cardstock.  The sections that are popped up with dimensionals are the Champagne layer, the large Mango Melody flower and the sentiment.  Before placing the large flower, I made a large white bow from the Snail Mail Twine combo pack and set behind.  Oh, my gosh—I just love the Brushed Blooms Bundle!  Simply gorgeous, don't you think?
