Hi crafters! I hope you are well and had a fun weekend!

This week we have an Emboss It theme at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. I hope you will join us! Don't miss the last project from our March guest designer Simona Rebecchi.

I wanted to make an Easter card with lots of green and yellow. The background is white embossed and then misted. The flowers were die cut from various inky paper, some of them have also been misted with Distress Spritz through stencils.

Start by white embossing Tim Holtz Florette background on watercolor paper. Don't worry about getting it perfect.

Mist heavily with Distress Spray Stains and finish with a little Twisted Citron Distress Spritz, for glimmer.

Most of the papers had been prepared for previous projects. I die cut Simon Says Stamp Charming Flower Stem, Poised Primula and Fresh Cut Floral Stem from yellow, orange and green inky papers. 

Shape the flowers with Tim Holtz Shaping Tool Kit. 

Assemble the flowers and adhere to the background. 

The embossing will resist the ink, creating a blended green background, with shimmer. 

Here you can see that some of the papers had been misted with Distress Spritz, through Tim Holtz Bubble and Sparkle Fade stencils.

I added Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Dazzling Gold Gems to the flower centers. The Dazzling Gems are a favorite of mine, which you might have noticed.

Die cut Simon Says Stamp Bouncy Happy Easter from yellow inky paper and dark green cardstock. 

The flowers have quite a bit of dimension.
