- Use a gray ink like Encore Metallic Silver instead of black to stamp the florals. It makes the outlining less prominent on the floral blossoms.
- Consider die cutting the leaves versus stamping and diecutting to keep the leaves less prominent. Use a blending brush to add color for a softer look.
- Use a blender brush to apply light color to the iris florals for a light a soft color.
- Use the Weave-A-Basket Die and brown cardstock colors to make a fall/winter-themed basket of flowers. Die cut the grassy die using Soft Stone for a natural “dried moss” look.
- Use the stems from the Into the Blooms: Bold Berries as “sticks” to add to the bouquet. Pearl Pen or other liquid pearl products are a quick and easy way to add tiny berries to stems.
