I just purchased the new "Spring Flowers" embossing folder, made by Sizzix for Stampin' Up! I could hardly wait to get it and see how well it would work with a couple of much older watermark and open flower stamps I've reserved in my crafting collection. After using the folder on cardstock, I used a brayer with some navy colored ink and gently rolled it across the raised flowers. The background cardstock was stamped with French script, polka dots, and flowers, then I sponged the piece to tone down the brightness and help bring the colors together. The vertical, narrow strip of white cardstock was treated in a similar manner. I enjoy embellishing embellishments (a tongue twister!), so I added some bling to the center of the flower brad to tie-in to those found on the dragonfly cabachon. The following card serves as the finished product:

Love the colors on this card! And that the stamps go with that new embossing folder. (I think I have that stamp set--I have a zillion SU sets, and in doing a little clean out of my Closet, came across some I forgot I had! Or why I purchased them! Ha! Ha!
