Hi friend! Happy Tuesday! I’m delighted to welcome special guest Cheiron Brandon as our guest today showcasing the gorgeous bold floral card. Read on and enjoy!

Hello crafty friends, it’s Cheiron Brandon and I’m thrilled to be sharing another project using Tim Holtz products. Today I am using one of the newest paper packs in the idea-ology Palette collection and I chose purple. I wanted to create a card with a fun mix and match of patterns and pair it with a bold floral image.  I chose the paper with the dark background and colorful flowers and cut a panel to 3 ¾ x 5, making sure to leave some yellow flowers in it. Then I stamped the flower from the Bold Botanicals twice using Wilted Violet Distress Oxide and embossed it with Tattered Rose Distress Embossing Glaze. I originally planned to pair it with the same color of Wilted Violet Distress Embossing Glaze, but I used the Tattered Rose Distress Glaze instead to tone the color down a bit to go with the paper. 

Once my images were heat embossed, I sprayed Distress Spray Stain in Squeezed Lemonade on one and left the other with a white background. I cut the flower from the yellow panel and the rectangle shape from the white panel. Then I added another layer to the card, using the map paper from the pack to add some fun contrast. I layered the paper, the white flower panel and finally used foam dots to add the yellow flower on top. I added some white spatter using Picket Fence Distress Paint all over the panel and added that to a Simon Says Stamp Cotton Candy notecard.

To finish my card, I added a die cut sentiment from the Good Greetings 1 stamps and gave the card a bit of sparkle using a few Opal Rainbow Embellishments.
