Small pink carnations

Stamp Heartfelt Creations small carnations with Artistry Fancy Fuchsia stamp pad. (I used all the sizes on one large acrylic stamp block and stamped 5 times so that I could have lots of flowers to play around with.)
Die-cut the stamped flowers with the matching dies.
Lightly ink the edges of the petals with blossom tree ink and a dauber.

Add the most prominent colour with the beautifully rich Taylored Expressions strawberry milkshake.

Add random dark streaks with Altenew Purple wine.

Lightly spray the flowers at the back with a spritzing bottle. Put into Basics mould and run through your die-cutting machines as per the instructions. (If you don't have the mould, you may scrunch the flowers by hand after misting them.)

I scrunched the flowers a bit more and pressed them down in the centres on a flower-shaping mat with a ball tool to make them "cup" upwards and then left them to dry properly.

When dry, I added a spot of glue in the centres and added lilac beads. I also dabbed a few spots of glue on some petals and sprinkled Crystal clear glitter.



The background paper, adhered to velvety smooth cardstock card base, is from the Garden of Delights paper pack. I used mirror heat-activated foil with my GoPress & Foil machine and the Best wishes hot foil plate for the sentiment.
