Quiet Meadow Birthday Card

What a beautiful bouquet of flowers you can make using the Meadow Dies. I cut them out from white cardstock and colored them with Stampin’ Blends!

The Meadow Dies create such pretty, delicate flower and there’s a couple of butterflies and labels as well.

• Basic White Layer - 5 1/4 x 4

• Color using Stampin’ Blends. I used Dark Granny Apple Green, Light Old Olive and Light Soft Succulent for the stems and leaves. For the flowers I used Dark Pale Papaya, Light Fresh Freesia and Dark So Saffron. The center of the So Saffron flower was colored with Light Soft Suede.
