I have created two cards for the hop .


Card 1:



I die cut the floral images using Summer Afternoon gradient card stock https://shrsl.com/3af4e and used the very handy layering guide provided with each product to create each flower and the leaves. 

The background was inked in distress oxide ink Faded Jeans - applying more ink at one end to create an ombre effect, I then splattered water over the panel and patted a paper towel over it. The water oxidises with the ink and gives an interesting texture. 

I then cut the sentiment provided in the set, off-set it with another die cut in gold glitter cardstock. Extra interest and focus is created using metallic thread  https://shrsl.com/36or3    and sequins https://shrsl.com/36osb from Altenew 

I used a stencil called Fine Tulle  https://shrsl.com/3af56  and some peach embellishment mousse to create my background.

  13. Your color palettes are spot on for both of these. The deep yellows pair so nicely with the dusty blue and the peach mousse matches your allspice perfectly.
