These two A2 size cards feature the Floral Essence Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!  These two cards were inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest made by Annette Elliott.

The top mat for this card was cut from Whisper White CS.  For the background I used a stamp from the Artisan Textures stamp set and Sweet Sugarplum, Berry Burst, Elegant Eggplant, Rich Razzleberry and Pear Pizzazz Inks stamped in a rough oval shape.

The bottom mat for this card was cut from Berry Burst CS.

The sentiment is from the July 2019 PP Kit - Picnic Paradise - and was stamped in Berry Burst Ink.

I stamped the 3 flowers on scraps of Whisper White CS.  The large flower was stamped in Berry Burst Ink and then I used a Sponge Dauber and the same color ink to color the flower. The other 2 flowers were stamped with Elegant Eggplant and Rococo Rose Inks.  Then I colored the white areas using a Blender Brush and Purple Posy and Pink Pirouette Inks.  The 3 flowers were fussy cut.  They were arranged as shown and popped up with Dimensionals.

I stamped the leaf clusters from the Floral Essence Stamp Set on Pear Pizzazz CS and cut them out using the Leaf Punch.  The were attached with Tape Runner.

The  smaller leaf sprays were cut from Pear Pizzazz CS and the butterflies were cut from Berry Burst CS using two of the Nature's Thoughts Dies.  They were attached with Tape Runner.

I added White Perfect Accents to the center of the flowers.

The finished top mat was attached to the bottom mat and then the completed piece to a White Card Base using Tape Runner.

This second card was made similarly, but I used Rich Razzleberry CS for the bottom mat.

I stamped the background using the same stamp as above but in a much wider rough oval shape.

The flowers were stamped with Rich Razzleberry, Sweet Sugarplum and Berry Burst Inks.

The leaf clusters were stamped with Shaded Spruce Ink.  The other leaf spray was cut from Shaded Spruce CS using a die from the Foliage Frame Framelits Dies.

I colored some Clear Epoxy Droplets using a coordinating color Stampin' Blend for the center of the flowers.

The sentiment was stamped in Rich Razzleberry ink, cut with the Classic Label Punch and popped up with Dimensionals.
