I created this card for a sweet friend for her birthday. I love the beautiful flowers and greenery this plate provides. As you can see, I die cut this out of several colors and this provided me with lots of die cuts and options for inlaying.

For this card, I wanted to step it up a bit! So before diecutting, I stamped the Nature in Bloom stamp in white pigment ink, for the background. I went with a different color palette and I really like how this turned out. On the large, lavender flowers, I added ink blending to the centers before adding layers to create the centers. I added foam squares to those flowers as well, to add some interest and dimension.

I used the following products to create this card:

~ Dancing Meadows wafer die

~ Nuvelli Hello Script die

~ Nature in Bloom background stamp

~ Crocus Pawsitively Saturated ink

I had so many of these flowers leftover, I just had to make another card! I thought these looked a bit tropical, so I decided to make a summer-themed card.

I used the following products to create this card:

~ Dancing Meadows wafer die

~ A2 Notched Rectangles

~ Surf Pawsitively Saturated ink

~ Clear Dew Drops

I hope you can see how versatile this new cover plate is! You can check out the whole release here: https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/collections/shine-on
