In Bloom with Gratitude

Welcome class!
I have another Spellbinders project coming your way, this time using Simon Hurley's In Bloom dies along with the Butterfly Garden Betterpress press plate collection.  
So here's the lesson plan:
1.  Pick your colors.  I wanted vibrant with this one knowing it would be on a black and white background, so I went with Concord and 9th Carnation, Sweet Pea and Dragonfruit, along with Lime Zest from Taylored Expressions.
2.  Die cut the things!  Betterpress the things!  
3. Before assembling the flowers, make sure to ink blend on them to add dimension. Then assemble the flowers.
4.  The Betterpress plate has an opening in the middle where you can put a greeting that comes with the plate.  I took a page from Jennifer McGuire's playbook and covered up that white space with the flowers.
5.  The sentiment comes from the Popular Sentiments die set from Spellbinders.  This is a layered sentiment, and I used Taylored Expression's Sticky Sheets on the cardstock so that it became self adhesive.  SO MUCH EASIER TO STICK TOGETHER.  Highly recommend.
6.  Accessorize with the random Pink and Main embellishments found in the craft room clean out.
