Lydia created this card by dry embossing an embossing folder using white cardstock and adding the colors by ink blending with ink pads. I love the bright bold colors of the flowers in contrast with the dark background! Visit Splitcoast Stampers for her tutorial.
Amy used new products from Waffle Flower to create this cheery clover card. It’s got a subtle glitter stenciled background, die cut and colored vase, flowers and leaves, and the sentiment is a combination of heat embossing and die cutting. You can watch her video tutorial on the Amy Rysavy blog.
