Started with one of my favourite stamp sets from Altenew - Nature's Magic. Stamped and die-cut the gladiolus and used the matching stencil and some detail brushes to sponge colour.
Used a rectangle die (center of a frame I had cut for another project), stenciling over top with Wander and Find (Carta Bella) in Shabby Shutters distress ink. I finished by stamping a small sentiment in black ink.
Popped up the panel, added the gladiolus on top (popping up the top few flowers), adding it onto my white card base. Added a few small details with my white acrylic paint pen to finish.
