The layering of this stamp set is INCREDIBLE!
It's 1-2-3... Boom! You are there!
By following the guide, I was able to stamp in the Balloon flowers in three simple easy-to-line-up steps.Do not be afraid of using darkest shade of ink! It really makes the rest of the colors POP!
I created a simple mask with scrap paper once I stamped the purple flower. I then stamped the pink flower and leaves.

Hello Virginia my friend. I really love your card, especially how you positioned both flowers and those dots in the background made me think of a ray of dotted light shining down on them. Never heard of Balloon flowers before but they resemble hibiscus to me.
Remarkable card. I would not have thought to add black to the center of the blue flower rather than a darker blue but it works fabulously
