Hey there! Today's card is sooo pretty! I found a layout I loved and adapted it to use with the Nature's Harvest and Dragonfly Garden stamp sets!

I created my own "designer paper" by heat embossing the flower spray with clear powder on a 1" x 5 1/4" strip of Basic White, then using a Blending Brush to apply  Fresh Freesia ink over it. The clear embossing resists the ink, creating this pretty look!

I stamped the cone flowers with Tuxedo Black ink, then colored with Fresh Freesia and Mossy Meadow Stampin' Blends. I added Clear Wink of Stella to the centers of the flowers to add some shimmer.

I colored a strip of Fresh Freesia card stock with a Dark Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blend to get a darker version to put behind the circle with the cone flowers. I heat embossed a greeting from Dragonfly Garden on a 1/2" strip of Fresh Freesia, then cut one end into banner points with Paper Snips.

I tied the ribbon in a bow and then added with a glue dot.

On the inside I used the Dark Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blend to add a darker edge to a 4" x 5 1/4" Fresh Freesia layer, then added the 3 3/4" x 5" white sentiment layer.

I stamped the inside with another Dragonfly Garden sentiment, and added Dragonfly Garden butterflies/dragonflies with Fresh Freesia ink. I did the emboss resist technique on the envelope flap as well.

I added a bit of Fresh Freesia ink over the stamped cone flower and added a few more Fresh Freesia butterflies.
