I cut three A2 size card bases from smooth white cardstock. I then cut three panels a bit smaller than the card base to leave a white border. I then placed them in my MISTI using the plaid background stamp and made three backgrounds very quickly using my favorite ink color combinations. I then die cut three more panels using a stitched rectangle die to frame the flower die which will be the focus of these cards. I die cut the flowers from coordinating cardstocks to match each card color. I mostly used scraps I have saved. I love when I can use up those scraps! Good color cardstock is not cheap!! I then heat embossed the sentiment and banner using gold embossing powder and embossing ink. I die cut it out and popped it up for a bit of dimension. I added some clear flat sequins and that's it!
