How to Use the Mixable Flower Stack Dies for Spring

How to make this card:

Die cut flower pieces from the Mixable Flower Stock Die Set with white cardstock five times.
Use Color Fuse #1 Lemon and Custard and Detail Blending Brushes to color two stacks of flowers (will create 2 flowers). Blend darker towards center and add a little darker on the ends of the petals. Create one flower with each color of ink.

Color the remaining three flower stacks using Color Fuse #8 Sonata, Sierra and Sapphire with Detail Blending Brushes to create three more flowers. Color each flower with one color of blue and go heavier with the ink on some layers to add variety.
Before assembling flowers splatter the yellow flowers with Color Fuse #1 Autumn ink and blue flowers with Color Fuse #8 Sapphire and Serene ink.

Adhere flower stacks together. Curl petals of each layer. This adds a ton of dimension. I like to curl the bottom layer petals down and the other layers curling up.
Die cut two ovals from the Nested Oval Small Stitch Die Set. One oval needs to be one size larger than the other oval as they will layer.
Go direct to paper with Color Fuse #8 Sapphire around the edges of the larger oval.

Die cut leaves from Mixable Flower Stack Die three times.
Use Detail Blending Brushes and Color Fuse #10 Clover and Basil to color all the leaves. Use both colors on each leaf using Clover toward the ends of each leaf with Basil towards the base.

Stamp sentiment from Faith and Scripture #1 using Color Fuse #12 Hearth on the right side of the smaller oval.
Adhere oval layers together.

Adhere flowers to the left and bottom edges of the oval.
Tuck leaves under flowers to fill in.
Add some gems to the centers of flowers.
Wrap some white twine around bottom section of kraft cardstock panel.
Pop up oval on kraft cardstock using foam tape.
Adhere to top folding heavy weight card base.
