For today’s blog hop, I used the Craft Your Life Project Kit: Flower Arch from the March 2025 Release collection.
This beautifully designed set features a stunning semi-arch of flowers, perfect for framing your projects. It also includes a selection of heartfelt sentiments, ideal for a variety of occasions. By splitting one stamped image, I was able to create two quick and simple floral cards.
I started by stamping the floral image with black ink and used a coordinating layering stencil set to add colours to the flowers and leaves. I used here the following Fresh Dye Inks: Butternut, Orange Sorbet and Apricot Frost from Dessert Dreams Fresh Dye Ink Set, Bamboo, Olive and Moss from Tropical Forest Fresh Dye Ink Set, Misty Morning and Cloudy Sky from Tranquility Fresh Dye Ink Set. Next, I cut the image in half and used the larger part for the first card.

To finish the card, I added a panel of Crafty Necessities: Dark Night Cardstock to the background and a sentiment from the set.

To create my second card, I used the other part of the floral image, matted with a smaller panel of Dark Night cardstock.
To finish it, I stamped my sentiment at the bottom of the design.

That’s it for me, your next stop is Therese Calvird.
