I stamped the images with black ink for all of the flowers and leaves. This card has the color combo of Volcano Lake, Emerald, Maple Yellow, Honey Drizzle, Parrot and Moss. After I stamped the images I used the stencils to layer the ink onto the images. Then for the background, I used the largest "open" stencil with the flower petals and added Crackle Distress texture Paste. Once that was dry I added a little bit of color to the dried paste. I gold heat embossed the sentiment and adhered that and the florals with foam tape. I finished by adding a few sequins.

The colors for this card are Coral Bliss, Vineyard Berry, Puffy Heart, Razzleberry, Maple Yellow, Honey Drizzle, Bamboo and Mountain Mist. I used the 3D Embossing Folder for the background and kept that white so the inked flowers would pop. I stamped the sentiment on black cardstock and white heat embossed it. I finished with a few gold sequins.
