Single image die cut stencil:
- Using one die cut flower image from the Altenew Painted Flowers set, I randomly cut out the image in various location from one piece of cardstock, focusing on the top of the card. My goal here was to create a cascading flower look.
- Once all flowers were cut out, I masking taped this onto another piece of cardstock to create the card front.
- Using purple ink and a sponge dauber, I used a lot of color towards the top of the card, lightening the color as I went down the card.
- Taking the matching floral image, I heat embossed using white embossing powder.
- Used white embossing powder on the sentiment as well
- Finished the card with silver thread and sequins.

Die cut cover die mask technique:
- Using the Tangled Loops cover die, I cut it out of masking paper.
- I placed the cut out masking paper onto a piece of watercolor cardstock. (To prepare the watercolor cardstock, I spritzed it several times with water. This helps it "accept" the color easier.)
- I smooshed blue ink onto my glass table top and combined it with a little bit of water and painted the card front, focusing on making the top darker and "thinning out" the blue as I went down the cardstock, creating an ombre effect.
- Die cut the word Thanks from black and white cardstock to make it pop off the vellum strip.
- Finished the card with sequins.
