Creating Kindness Design Team Blog Hop - All about Florals

I'm super excited to share with you that I'm a Guest Designer with the Creating Kindness Design Team this month, it's such an honour! This month's theme is FLORAL, and if you follow me, you know that flowers are "my thing".The team will be sharing lots of ideas to inspire your floral creativity.

I was totally sold on the Last a Lifetime stamp set when I saw it in the Mini Catalogue, and that is what my project today is featuring.

I started by stamping and colouring the floral image with Stampin Blends in Poppy Parade and Mint Macaron, then cut with the coordinating Dies, next was the circle frame, it's 2 layers - using the largest Stitched Shapes circle die, and then placing the corresponding Layered Circle Die to create a fine frame (the edge of the plain circle die lined up perfectly with the outer edge of the Stitched Shapes circle die, making it super easy to cut out).

I used a Poppy Parade Stampin Marker for the Love & Joy part of the sentiment, I used the Stamparatus and did it a couple of times to get the colour nice and even, then I mask those words and inked up in Memento Black to complete the sentiment, then cut with the large Stitched Circle Die taking care to take into account the with of the frame I'd created.

Then I added a mixture of hearts using 2nd, 3rd & 4th generation stamping, and added some splashes, and of course some Bling, aren't the From my Heart Faceted Gems adorable!
