Welcome back for another Colour INKspiration challenge. This inspiration which has inspired our colour palette was chosen by Crew Member, Monica Formosa.
Instantly our fun and cheerful colour palette reminded me of flowers so it was the perfect chance for me to give my new Paper Florist Dies a whirl. They may be a set that you have missed in the catalogue but they are absolutely amazing and need showing off! The set has dies to create different 3D flowers in many sizes with accompanying leaves.
Once you die cut and layer the petals all you have to do is add some stamens or centres and arrange. The frame is made using the new Nested Essentials dies and is on a background embossed with one of the folders in the Basics 3D Embossing Folders pack.
Don't you just love how pretty the arrangement looks? If you wanted to send a card like this you could just layer everything flat onto the card and not shape the petals of the largest flower. You might need to replace the rolled flower centre with one of the flat flower centers. The way that you an create flat or 3D arrangements makes this die set so versatile.
The sentiment is from the Textured Floral stamp set and is on a label from the Nested Essentials dies.
It took me a while to work out the best way to assemble the largest flower. I got there in the end and hope to have a quick video to show you the process soon.
So if you have overlooked the Paper Florist dies make sure to check them out. They will be on high rotation in my creations for sure!
