I blended red, yellow, and blue inks on a piece of white cardstock and dry embossed it with Simon Says Stamp's Dotted Spiral 3D embossing folder.

I was inspired with Jennifer McGuire's clear card and created this partial clear card with Pinkfresh Studio's products.

I attached attached the die cut foliage on the front panel. I used Pinkfresh Studio's Charming Stitched Florals coverplate die to cut on a purple cardstock and attached it on the backside of the card. I gold embossed the greeting (from Pinkfresh Studio's Heartfelt Chapters stamp & die set) and die cut it out with the matching die. I attached the greeting on top of the card front.
