Hi friends!

I am back today with beautiful flowers from Crafty Meraki. This gorgeous flower spray is from the stamp set called Reason to Smile, which I paired with two different mini slimline dies for my card.

I stamped this gorgeous flower spray on Neenah Solar Crest paper and colored it with the following colored pencils.

~Prismacolor pencils~
Pinks: 994, 1019, 1017, 929, 928, 1014, 1013, 938
Yellows: 1052, 942, 1012, 916, 1011, 914, 938
Greens: 911, 988, 1096, 913, 912, 1004, 938
Purples: 1078, 996, 956, 1026, 938
Bluegreen: 1054, 907, 936, 1020, 120, 1089, 938
Background shading: 1054, 1052, 1021, 1086, 938

Once I had the flowers all colored I fussy cut them out and set them aside. My card base is standard mini slimline size of 6.25″ x 3.5″. I die cut the Timeless Frames Mini Slimline die out of blue patterned paper.

Using the leftover rectangle from the center of the die I carefully lined up the paper on the Bar None Mini Slimline die and die cut it. It does come out in just strips of paper, so it’s important to keep the strips in the same order. I glued every other strip in the center of the Timeless Frames die.

Once I had them all glued in place, I adhered the flower spray to the card with double sided foam tape.

The sentiment is from the Pinkfresh ‘You are my favorite‘ stamp set. A few sparkly sequins added just the perfect touch.
