Send a BOLD floral HELLO: Crafty with Caly
Hi friends! Happy Thursday! Please join me in welcoming special guest Caly Person back to our blog in our bi-monthly Crafty with Caly blog series! Be sure to watch the video for all the details, and enjoy!
Hi there! My card today uses the Lovely Layers Water Lily die set from Honey Bee Stamps. To begin, I die-cut my flowers with white cardstock. I also die-cut the flower centers using yellow cardstock and the foliage using green cardstock.
The flower layers are etched from the die-cutting, so it’s easy to see the “exposed” areas of each layer so you know exactly where to in-blended. Be sure to check out the video to see how I ink-blended these layers!
WATCH THE VIDEO:
I ink-blended two sets of large water lilies and lily pads and one water lily bud. The flowers are ink-blended with both pink and purple to give the flower layers interest and contrast. Ink-blending the foliage with two shades of green also adds a lot of depth.
For the background, I ink-blended with Distress Oxide Inks in Peacock Feathers, Mermaid Lagoon, and Uncharted Mariner. I spritzed the panel with some water to give it texture before adding my die-cut elements.
To finish, I stamped and die-cut a sentiment from the Mini Messages and Mini Messages Banners dies.
I hope you like this project! Thanks for visiting today! ~Caly

Hope Your Day is Beautiful: New Pinkfresh Studio Card Idea!
Hi friends! Please join me in welcoming back special guest Heather Hoffman on our blog today! She’s made this majorly GORGEOUS card showcasing Pinkfresh Studio products to share with you today! Read on and enjoy!
There is something magical about a birdcage, lovely florals, and a cute little bird, isn’t there? I’ve combined a couple new sets from Pinkfresh Studio to create this card! I gold heat embossed the one piece Lovely Blooms image, and also used the bird from Best Thing (save the florals for another project). I used a bright color palette of pinks, oranges, and aquas. The birdcage had to be gold (of course!) – and
I added some texture to the background with the Floral Backdrop coverplate die, mounted over a pink cardbase. Some sparkly Ombre Glitter drops and a bit of jute twine tied to the top of the birdcage help add an even more whimsical feel to this card. And could that sentiment be any more perfect to send to just about anyone?
