Countdown to Confetti - Day 3

Hello there!  Welcome to day 3 of the Countdown to Confetti with Reverse Confetti!  Today, I created a card and tag set using several new products from the July release, available tomorrow, July 8th!

To create my card, I started off with a Polar White card base cut to A2 size.  On top of that, I layered the new Circle of Hearts Cover Panel, also cut from white cardstock.  I added a strip of patterned paper from the new Sun & Sea 6x6 paper pad to the bottom of the card front.  Then, I stamped a trio of flowers from the new Bold Blooms stamp set in Bumblebee ink, then carefully restamped again, this time just inking the very edges of the petals with Tangerine ink.  Double inking like this gives extra dimension to the flowers.  The center details were stamped in Tangerine  and Midnight inks.  The open leaves were stamped in Midnight ink and the solid leaves were stamped first in Lime Green ink, then the edges were stamped again with Olive ink, and the veins of the leaves were stamped in Avocado ink.  Then, they were diecut using the coordinating Bold Blooms Confetti Cuts dies.  I arranged the bouquet onto a circle cut using the Fa La La Circle Confetti Cuts dies.  The sentiment is from a new sentiment set, Sentimental Sayings.

I created a coordinating gift tag using the new Fold Over Tag Confetti Cuts die set, cut from Tangerine cardstock.  The florals are from the same Bold Blooms stamp set, the pinked circle was cut using the Flowers For Mom Confetti Cuts dies, and the sentiment  is from the previously released Bitty Banners stamp set, diecut using the coordinating Bitty Banners Confetti Cuts dies.

Here you can see how the inked edges of the flowers and leaves adds some extra dimension.  You could also achieve a similar look by adding shading with markers or colored pencils.

That's all for me today, but be sure to hop along with the rest of the team and comment along the way for a chance to win a Reverse Confetti gift certificate! :)
