Floral Sunset

 Good morning!  I just love the bright background with the black die cut flowers.  This is a really easy quick card to make if you use the Matting Basics B die set for the frame.  I started with the background and I inked a piece of coconut white card with distress inks.  I used mustard seed, barn door and dusty concord and inked it in rows.  I applied the ink quite liberally, then I decided that I wanted it to be a bit more diffused but still quite bright so I used all three colours and laid a stripe of each on to my craft mat.  I spritzed it with water quite liberally then placed my inked card down into it.  I pulled the card along to sort of mop up the ink.  This allowed my background to blend, but still retain it's brightness.  I dried it with a heat tool and stamped my sentiment in the upper corner.  I cut several of the Asters and Poppies in black card.  I nipped them a bit and added in extra flower heads here and there and tucked the stems under the edge of the frame. For the frame I used two sizes of the Matting Basics B set to cut the frame, then I added in an extra die and just embossed it into the frame edge for a bit more detail.   I added a thin white mat to lift it a bit then did my final pierced mats to complete the card.  This will work for any occasion so you can simply change the text to suit.  Finished dimensions are 7" x 9 1/2" in size.
