And here's the project it inspired:

The bright colours in this card are perfect for the floral imagery in this design, made using items from the new Hello, Irresistible Suite that's now available as part of our Online Exclusive product offering.

The Designer Series Paper panel was cut from the Flirty Flamingo and Daffodil Delight pattern in the Hello, Irresistible 6" x 6" DSP. It was stamped with the two floral images from the Irresistible Blooms Stamp Set using Flirty Flamingo, with additional texture added using the splatter stamp from the same set stamped using Petal Pink.

The floral and leaf images from the Irresistible Blooms Stamp Set were stamped on to Basic White Cardstock using Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, and Granny Apple Green. These elements were cut out using the coordinating Irresistible Blooms Dies. The sentiment was stamped using Basic Gray, again on Basic White Cardstock, and fussy cut using Paper Snips. All elements were attached to a Basic White stitched circle (die cut using the largest 3" circle die from the Stylish Shapes Dies) using Stampin' Dimensionals.

A length of the Variegated ½" Balmy Blue and White Ribbon was coloured using the dark Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends alcohol marker. The DSP panel was adhered to a Flirty Flamingo Cardstock layer and a length of ribbon wrapped around both layers. The focal floral element was added over the top of the ribbon band using Stampin' Dimensionals, a ribbon bow was attached with a glue dot, and the finished panel layered on to a standard Basic White Cardstock base.

And here's the project it inspired:

This elegant floral card was made with the Fragrant Flowers bundle and the coordinating Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper that you can earn free with a $60 order during Sale-a-Bration.

A strip of the geometric patterned Designer Series Paper in Fresh Freesia was added to the left hand side of a Basic White card rectangle. A circle layer was cut from Blackberry Bliss geometric patterned DSP using the largest circle die from the Stylish Shapes Dies and used as the base of the the card's focal point.

The floral image from the Fragrant Flowers Cling Stamp set was inked using Mossy Meadow and Fresh Freesia Stampin' Write Markers, and stamped onto Shimmery White Cardstock. Using a water painter brush, the ink from the stamped lines was spread to watercolour the floral image and foliage. Additional ink was added as required from Mossy Meadow and Fresh Freesia Classic Stampin' Pads. The floral image was then die cut using the coordinating die from the Fragrant Flowers Dies.

Using Mossy Meadow and Blackberry Bliss Cardstock pieces with Adhesive Sheets already attached (to make securing these detailed die cuts easier), leaf and bud elements were die cut using additional dies from the Fragrant Flowers set. In order for the outer parts of the leaves and buds to remain unattached and floating, corn starch was brushed over the adhesive backing to prevent those sections from sticking to the underlying layers. The inside parts of the leaves and buds were adhered to the DSP circle, and the die cut floral image added over the top. The whole panel was layered on to a Blackberry Bliss Cardstock mat, and then attached to a Fresh Freesia card base using Stampin' Dimensionals.

The "friend" sentiment, again from the Fragrant Flowers Stamp Set, was stamped in Blackberry Bliss on Basic White cardstock, cut to a small rectangular panel, and adhered as the top layer over the floral element using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. 2021-2023 In Color™ Opal Rounds in Fresh Freesia were added as a finishing touch.
