For today’s blog hop I used the beautiful Craft Your Life Project Kit: Seasonal Blooms to create a CAS card.

I started by using 3D embossing folder to create a background and adding some black ink splatters. Next, I used my stamp set with black ink and fussy cut out some flowers. I used markers to colour them in and added to the bottom of my card.

My last step was to stamp the sentiment.

I combined it with floral embellishments from Enjoy the Ride - Bouquet Builder Ephemera and a sentiment from Thinking of You Stamp Set.

For my second card, I die cut Abstract Landscape Cover Die out of white cardstock and used Altenew markers to colour and embellish every piece of the design.

For the pink parts I used a small stamp from Wildflower Doodles Stamp Set. My last step was to add a sentiment from Thinking of You Stamp Set.
