Good Morning Friends and welcome. It is Karan here sharing a card with you and it is designed using Florals 13.
Here is how I began creating my card.
I started by selecting some papers and using dies from the Stitched Indented Rectangles, I love adding layers to my cards and this is a great and easy way to do that.
I then used the stitched circles and cut a sentiment, matting it in a coordinating paper and matting it on the color I used for my base
Using Soft Finish Cardstock die cutting three sets of each size as I wasn’t sure how many I would need.
Coloring the florals with Victorian Velvet and the leaves with Peeled Paint Distress Ink, I set about assembling my florals.
Assembling the card and tucking in the leaves in and around the flowers.
Here is a side view of the card and once completed I decided to add some snow paste to detail the florals and leaves, I find it gives it nice texture too. I used stamens to my centers.
I love how this turned out and I would love to see your take on Florals 13.

Hello Friends and Welcome to the EC Designs Blog. It is Karan here to share a project with you.
I know it has been awhile since i have posted crafty projects with our big move almost behind us, i am slowly getting back to creating. My first project is using their floral stamps and beautiful floral dies creating a gorgeous mini album.
My first project back is Designed using Florals 13. Which i have shaped into Wild Roses. I matched the color of them with the paper i used in my project. Using a foam bud as my center.
Stamping the Blossom set out on Soft Petal Cardstock from Elizabeth Crafts with black archival ink, i decided to use my water brush and dab color from the same pad i used to create my florals. Salvaged Patina Distress Ink.
This project is designed as a mini folio on 49 and Market Accordion Flip Fold which comes with their new album as an insert. I thought it would make a perfect mini.
The inside i still want to decorate but my new scrap space is very much in boxes, but i promise i will add more photos when i get to my Planner dies.
I hope you have enjoyed my share with you today and I have inspired you to create your own beautiful mini albums.
