Spring flowers

Good Morning everyone

Ive used an aall&create stamp for these Spring cards, teaming them up with orange pearl cardstock which im still trying to use up

Approx size 6x6"   I used stitched hexagon dies to make my base card which i then dry embossed with a swirl embossing folder - this is my most used embossing folder as its A4 and gives a subtle background.  Afterwards i felt it needed something to break up all the orange so I stamped the word spring across the centre with 'salvaged patina' oxide ink using 2nd & 3rd generation stamping.

I made a background on white card and ink swooshing oxide inks - squeezed lemonade, cracked pistachio, twisted citron & salvaged patina, once dry i stamped the stamp with black ink and cut out the main part with the collage of hexagons and added to the base card. 

 I stamped the stamp again onto white paper, coloured the flowers and cut them out and glued them flat onto the base image......my first attempt was to first mask the flowers and do the background but that turned into a right hassle for making a batch of cards so it was easier and quicker to stamp them onto white paper, cut out and adhered on top😀 

Yellow gems added to add a bit of bling

I made 10 in the end just varying the colour of the flowers
