   • Stamp the middle flower on three pieces of Masking Paper
   • Die cut or fussy cut each flower.
8. Place the three masks over the 3 flowers you stamped. These will protect your flowers while allowing you to stamp more images closer to the flowers.

   1. Ink the leaf spray with Parakeet Party
   2. Use a sponge dauber to apply some Pretty Peacock ink to the stamp similar to the leaf sprays in the DSP
10. Remove the masks.
11. Add the panel from to the Calypso Coral panel.  Add this panel to the card front using dimensionals centering it on the large White panel and not the card base.

I completely overlooked the Transluscent Florals bundle in the Sept-Dec Mini Catalog! Lucky for us, my friend Robbie saw the beauty of this lovely, delicate bundle that coordinates with stunning Delicate Florals Designer Series Paper from the Online Exclusives line and shared her creations with us. Double lucky for us, the bundle is carrying over once the catalog retires and the paper is still available. Yippee! I’ve added these to my wishlist!

Can you imagine stamping all of those individual trees to make this forest background? I can’t either! Lucky for us we don’t have to! Use the Fragrant Forest background stamp with Shaded Spruce ink and this becomes a Quick & Easy card! My fave.
