Video: How to Contemporize a Classic Design with A Year of Flowers 2

Good morning!  Posting another video a little early before Spring Break starts! Today I'll show you how to adapt a card design you love with realistic flowers to a more stylized, contemporary look with my A Year of Flowers 2 set.  I shared the purple card I based today's new design on with A Year of Flowers 3 at our release party.) This all-occasion and seasons assortment of elemental flowers and stems has such a whimsical feel and couldn’t be any simpler to color!

  I also show how to simplify this design if you choose for a cleaner look, or how to step it up and create a gorgeous coordinating background with stamping and sponging. Lots of stamping, coloring and embellishment tip, here, too! Sentiment is from Scripty Sayings, free for a limited time with qualifying purchase. Please enjoy!  

I think I like 'em both equally, don't make me pick!
