<p>I used one of the <a href="http://stamplorations.auctivacommerce.com/Color-Blooms-Coloring-Book-for-Cardmakers-Crafters-and-Mixed-Media-Artists-P5633686.aspx">Color Blooms Coloring Book</a> pages as the background card. I added the page on the card base, and then colored the flowers with Distress Crayons and my finger <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> So easy to blend them on this paper.</p>
<p>Then I die cut the frame with 2 sizes of the <a href="http://stamplorations.auctivacommerce.com/Crazy-Double-Running-Stitch-Rectangle-Nesting-Dies-CUTplorations-P5623511.aspx">Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies</a> and added on the card with double sided tape. I embellished my card with the 2 die cuts from <a href="http://stamplorations.auctivacommerce.com/Flutter-Zen-1-Layering-Dies-CUTplorations-P5683778.aspx">Flutter Zen 1 Layering Dies</a> and <a href="http://stamplorations.auctivacommerce.com/Dragonfly-Layering-Dies-CUTplorations-P5683775.aspx">Dragonfly Layering Dies</a>. I only glued the middle of the dragonfly and butterfly to let their wings floating for 3D effect.</p>
<p>I stamped the sentiment from <a href="http://stamplorations.auctivacommerce.com/Trendy-Butterflies-2-Shery-Russ-Designs-P5676781.aspx">Trendy Butterflies 2</a> on a piece of white cardstock and cut an angle on one side, added couple staples on it and added on the card with 3D foam tape. And at the last minute, I saw an empty spot between the butterfly and dragonfly, I decided to stamp one more sentiment there. I tell you&#8230; it was a challenge to try to stamp it in between 2 3D embellishments without messing up the card <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f600.png" alt="😀" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
