This image has SO much details. I absolutely love how the stamp and die "do all the talking"!
To highlight the purple Mum, I stamped all the color for each layer.
I then ran the flower die with the Tan Embossing Mat through the die cut machine.
The sentiment was then silver-embossed and it surely goes well with the color combo!
For final touches, I embellish the background with some splatter and enamel dots.

So many great ideas on this card. Love how you used the outline stamp to do different colored flowers for the background, then only colored in the purple flower. But to use the die to emboss the outline. Wow! I never thought of that! YFS
Hi Virginia, I really Love the airy look this card has. The flower is gorgeous and so is the colorcombo!

Beautiful card, love these colors and especially the technique of using the outline stamp for the background. I've only ever tried it with a single tone on tone color, or just black, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE that you used several colors for the outline stamped background! Brilliant!
Having the background flowers be only outlines really makes the purple mum stand out. I love this card and the set.

Such a beautiful card! Love how the one flower stands out on your card.
Thanks so much for sharing...
Such a lovely card Virginia. The outlines of the blossoms behind the full colored one really brings the card together. The silver embossing was the perfect choice for the sentiment! Thank you for the inspiration. It was beautiful!!
Your cards is very pretty. I like how you just colored the purple flower and then embossed it to make it stands out. I'd never have thought of that.
So pretty. Love the colors and the butterfly.
Wow stunning card. The purple flower really jumps off the page and I live how you have used silver for the sentiment
The purple is SOOO RICH and beautiful!
Your color choice is so vivid and bright, I love it!
What a lovely way to highlight one flower in the bouquet. I also really like how you used a purple color for the outline instead of a black. I think that helps it work with the other colored outlines, and it's just really pretty. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful! Love how the purple flower stands out!
What a lovely card! I love the soft texture you get from adding the butterfly to the corner.
Your card is STUNNING Virginia!! I love the design with the main flower fully colored and the rest with just the outline. The dry embossing of the main flower, the butterfly, the splatters, and the little heart = gorgeous! I would have probably done the sentiment in gold but you are so right - the silver looks amazing. I really must start using it more lol. Thank you for sharing your card and for the always awesome inspiration! (mardy14@bellsouth.net)
I love how you added dimension but kept this a simple flat card. Can't wait to try this technique out.
Your technique of emphasizing the main stamp by dry embossing it is a great one. I'm going to try that!
Beautiful card! Lovely color palette. Love your approach to the spotlight coloring and using colors in your background outline florals.
The card is beautiful. I love how you combined different colored outlines with the one colored mum. Embossing the colored mum spotlights it even more. The result is beautiful!
Beautiful card, gorgeous colors. This is a gorgeous set.
Beautiful use of vibrant color! Love your work!
Such wonderful colors! I love the way you've filled in only one of the flowers fully, leaving the others at outlines only. Thanks so much for sharing!
Love your card, stunning!
This is such a beautiful flower with some lovely sentiments as well. Another BAF beauty! Love the card inspiration too!
Gorgeous work Virginia! Thank you for sharing your creation with us.
