Let's see three dies or punches and a sentiment..., yep, I think there are that many -lol. Glad it wasn't to limit it to three!
Where I was headed when I started this is miles away from where it went, but this is one of my favorite cards! Amazing what happens when you think to yourself "Wonder what would happen if..."
I have some pearl embossing powder I had never used, but I was playing with it using a stamp I can't send to Houston and it was gorgeous! SO I thought I would try it on this Framelits set just to see how it looked. Then I decided I would try my hand at using my watercolor pencils to color them sorta like pansies.The first one was awful, so I decided purple on bright yellow cs wasn't going to cut it and went with oranges/reds. Okay, looks pretty good, but.. Of course! Needs some Distress Ink!
When I finally got the flowers put together with the centers popped on foam tape and arranged, I glued them in strategic places to keep the arrangement and adhered them to the oval layer, comprised of an oval diecut from dp and mounted to a Floral Ovals frame with mounting tape. I have such terrible luck with ribbon and bows that I used a narrow strip of cs instead to place behind the ovals. It was punched with a small scallop edger.
The sentiment was stamped on matching dp, embossed, diecut and adhered to a layer matching the Floral Oval. It was attached to the card base with mounting tape.
Thinking it still needed just a little something, I added the small yellow half-pearls on each end of the Floral Oval. These are some of my favorite dies!

WOW, love what you've done with this HA set. Love the bold hot colour of the flowers and your colouring of them really adds dimension. Your playtime has created something beautiful.
