Today I’m sharing two cards created with the beautiful One-Go: Friendship Flowers Complete Bundle from the April 2026 Release collection. For my first card, I stamped my floral images with Obsidian Pigment Ink and used coordinating stencils to colour them in.

I mixed pink shades from the Rose Petal Fresh Dye Ink Set, yellows from the Golden Sunset Fresh Dye Ink Set, purples from the Shades of Purple Fresh Dye Ink Set, and greens from the Tropical Forest Fresh Dye Ink Bundle. Next, I die cut all the elements using the One-Go: Friendship Flowers Die Set, which coordinates perfectly with the stamped images and allows me to cut out the floral clusters quickly.

For the background, I used a panel of Crafty Necessities: Glacier Iris Cardstock before adding the die-cut floral clusters. To finish the card, I added sentiments from the set.

For my second card, I used the same colour combination to stencil the images.

The One-Go: Friendship Flowers Layering Stencil Set includes layered stencils for the flowers and an extra stencil for creating custom backgrounds. That’s a great addition if you love adding creative, artsy touches to your cards. I used Misty Morning from Tranquility Fresh Dye Ink Set to colour my background.

I trimmed the stamped and stencilled panel and added two sentiments from the set.

  1. I love that you did your card 2 ways-layering the die cut flowers on top of colored card stock and then by using the stencil to color in the background. Both are beautiful, especially since you used many different colors for the flowers.
