Now, let's get on to a bit about my project. We were to use a favorite floral for this hop and lately, I have certainly been enjoying the Floral Shadow Stamp and Die Set along with the coordinating Teal Shadow Washi Tape. I absolutely love that I can use the dies to create a bouquet on my card. It's super easy too. I just take a piece of 4.25 x 11-inch cardstock and cover it with the Washi Tape. Then I die cut the various pieces using the dies from the Floral Shadow Stamp and Die Bundle. This gives me plenty of different pieces to work with and is so easy to put together!

 
For my card, I started by covering a white A2 panel with the Washi Tape and then die cutting it with a large stitched rectangle for my background panel. Next, I die cut a piece of peacock shimmer cardstock and made a band to go across the card front using the Creative Edges Lace Die at the top and bottom. Then I cut a strip of Cougar Digital White Cardstock that would fit along the center of the band and stamped a sentiment from Wings of Hope Stamp Set. 

I carefully arranged my die cuts so they wouldn't obscure my sentiment and added a few Glossy Eggshell Pearls from Little Things From Lucy's Cards. I just love these glossy pearls and there are three sizes in there making them perfect for adding that special finishing touch to your card.  Once that was complete, I mounted it to a top folding white card base.  

I didn't buy anything to make this card but rather used things I already had on hand.
