Rose colored cardstock, green cardstock,  Copic Alcohol Ink Markers and colored pencil (Petunia - RV11, RV21, and Prismacolor Magnolia, Leaves, G99, G94, G21, YG11, YG21, YG67), beads, wire, Gesso, glue gun, double sided tape, Baby's Breath

Create a 5 1/2 x 51/2 top folding card.  Cut some coordinating rose colored cardstock at 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 inches.  Select the designer paper from the Classic Petunia Paper Collection that has "It's a Beautiful Day" across the bottom.   Cut the designer paper at 5 x 5 inches.  The card has a lot of layers so you will want to use a heavy double sided tape to adhere the layers.   

Stamp the Classic Petunia Bouquet Stamp with Desert Sand Memento Dye Ink on X-Press It Blending Cardstock.   Color the flowers and leaves with Copic Alcohol Ink Markers or your ink of choice.   My color combo for the Petunias was   RV11 and RV21.  I darkened the center and shadow areas with Prismacolor Magnolia colored pencil.   The large leaves were colored with Copic G99, G94 and G21.  The smaller leaves were colored with YG11, YG21 and YG67.    Cut the image 4 additional times and adhere together to create strength and dimension.   gently curl the image inward with your fingers to give a slight inward bend to the bouquet.    lightly apply some Dries Clear adhesive to the flowers and sprinkle with Baby's Breath Ultrafine Transparent Glitter.  Allow to dry.   Apply a light coat of Dries Clear Adhesive to the large green leaves and sprinkle with Crystal Ultrafine Transparent Glitter.   

The Open Leaf stamp set was stamped on green cardstock with Olive GroveMemento Ink.  The leaves were die cut with the Classic Leaf Die.    The edges were sponged with Olive Grove Memento Ink.   The leaves were lightly misted and shaped using the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit.  Stamp, cut, sponge and shape 4 - 5  leaf stems to add fullness under the bouquet.   

Use some pearls to create a fun embellishment.   I love to bead and have left over beads that I love to use for this technique.   Tread some wire through them and then Gesso the stem or you can wrap in floral tape if you prefer.   If you do not have beads that are the correct color, you can gesso the bead and color if you prefer.   

The Open leaves, baby breath, bead wires and focal image were adhered with a glue gun for strength. 

Thank you so much for stopping by.   I love having you here!    We have a lot of new designers so I hope you check out all the wonderful creations from my wonderful teammates!

Instructions

Card base is 11 in. x 51/2 in.  Fold card at 51/2 in. The base layer of violet was cut twice at 51/4 in. x 51/4 inches. The Designer paper and inside sentiment was cut at 5in. x 5in. 

The Botanic Orchid Bouquet was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on X-Press It Blending Card-stock.  They were colored with the following Copic Alcohol Ink Markers - V01, V04, V06, V09, V28, YG 03, G17, G28, G40.  

The flowers were die cut using the Botanic Orchid Bouquet Die.  The flourish was cut using Cut Mat Create 2A Die.  The flowers were lightly misted and shaped with the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit.  The flourish was lightly shaped to add some movement to the card.   When the flowers were dry, 3D lacquer was applied to the flowers and leaves of the orchids. 

The Happy Birthday sentiment was cut from the mat section of the Botanic Orchid Collection and matted on left over scraps of violet card-stock.

The inside of the card is the Botanic Orchid Wishes Cling stamp.   It was  stamped with Tuxedo Black Dye Ink and colored with Copic Markers.   The ink was - V01, V04, V06, V09, V28, YG 03, G17, G28, G40, B00, B21, B24, B26.   I forgot to snap a picture of the inside prior to mailing - but trust me- this is a great stamp set!  It makes a perfect greeting on the inside of the card. 

The outside and inside layers were adhered and the flourish and flowers were applied with Designer Dries Clear glue.   Liquid Pearls and sequins were added for embellishment. The outside sentiment was adhered with D-Dots.
