Highlighted Glass & Gardens EF with Impressions Abloom

I initially totally missed this set of embossing folders recently released in the Online Store. They are called Glass & Gardens and are just beautiful...and easy to miss! Patty Bennett highlighted the floral folder with ink and blending brushes, and then added several flowers from the Impressions Abloom stamp set, also in the Online Store. Pick a color palette and you have so many possibilities!

Measurements:

Strawberry Slush (N): 1/2 sheet
Granny Apple Green Two-Tone paper (N): scraps
Garden Green Two-Tone paper (N): scraps
Basic White: 2 pcs @ 4" x 5 1/4" (one for the inside), scraps

To Make This Card:

Emboss the White, front layer with the "rose" embossing folder from the Glass & Gardens Embossing Folders, placing the image near the bottom of the piece.
Starting with Strawberry Slush ink, burnish a little color on the right side of the piece. Continue with Timid Tiger, overlapping just a bit into the pink, and then finish with Darling Duck, also overlapping it into the orange.
Now, you can adhere it to the folded Strawberry Slush card base.
Now, for the flowers. Stamp one larger flower detail in Strawberry Slush, and one in Poppy Parade (or any color palette you like). Then, stamp off Strawberry Slush ink with the solid stamp for each flower. Finish with Smoky Slate centers and Wink of Stella.
I also repeated the Poppy Parade combination in a small flower. Set aside.
Die cut the "fillers - large & small" in the 2, two-tone green paper. (You can pick and chose as you make the card.)
Practice arranging flowers where desired. I started with the darker flower, adding a "filler" and attaching, flush, to card. I added "fillers" to the lighter, large flower and added to the card with Dimensionals. Then, I tucked a smaller "filler" and small flower underneath. Take a look and see if it needs anything else.

Finish inside by adding a small flower/filler, if desired.
