Dramatic Layered Orchids

Hello friends! Layering dies combined with dramatic colors and textures grabs your eye instantly, and I think the Layered Orchids from Scrappy Tails is a perfect example of this. I used two teal colors, but adding ink strategically makes for a dramatic backdrop for this beautiful flowers. Let me know if you think I pulled it off?

Creating this card was a breeze because the most solid die in the Layered Orchids set embossed the lines so that you can line up the layers easily. I love that Sabrina thinks of every detail so that we the maker don’t have to “think”. I started out by die cutting two of the bases so that I would add extra dimension, but it isn’t a necessary step. Next I cut the intricate layers of the flowers in two shades of teal. You will notice a third, blue which was obtained by applying navy ink. Finally I cut the leaf detail and stamen from a matte silver paper. The fun part was adhering the layers, building the flower. You will notice that the background is embossed and a deeper blue. I applied the same ink to the teal paper, but made it a darker blend creating the dramatic backdrop for the floral. Last, but not least I heat embossed the sentiment from the Sweet Bear stamp set in white. Pretty simple right… but oh so pretty!!!
