Oh.my.heart!

This may be my most favorite card make of the year!

That Craft-A-Flower Primrose Blossom is an absolute gem!

So many beautiful details - let's take a closer look...

Ink blending + layered dies = total gorgeousness!

I applied Deep Blue Seas Crisp Dye Mini Inks with the Ink Blending Tool-Small to create that pretty blue background - love it!

I cut apart the Floral Lace Die cut, and arranged it as a pretty border trim.

The Rose Petal Gradient Cardstock was perfect for layering my Primrose Blossoms with, and I used the darkest shade, Cosmic Berry, for the sentiment.

I love the realistic look of the Craft-A-Flower blooms! Those layers are errrrrything!

Simple, elegant & oh so beautiful creating with the

Craft-A-Flower Primrose Blossom

I hope my card has inspired you!
