I chose the floral packets to make a birthday card for my youngest daughter. The sweet blush card base was hot foiled, using satin peach foil. The oval frame was cut and backed with vellum cardstock, to mute the foiling a bit. The flowers were cut from various smooshed watercolor BG's I made, using distress inks. I love the subtle swag BG and elegance it adds! Here's my inspiration.
Paper: vellum cardstock, PTI--sweet blush and white
Paper Size: A2
Ink: various distress inks
Accessories: Waffle Flower--layered abstract flowers dies and Swag BG hot foil plate, PTI--Shape Shifters Oval 1, Spellbinders--oval die and satin peach foil

Your flowers are beautiful against the vellum. Love the look of the hot foiling which I really need to learn. Your inspiration picture is very popular today.

Ooh, this is gorgeous. I love the flowers and the pretty, foiled background. The framing looks great, too.
