Greeting card with blue flowers and yellow butterflies on a green background. Text reads "hello friend." Bright and cheerful design.

Hello Lovelies! I have a feeling that the Dainty Floral Vine Die is going to one of my favorites! It's simple, but easily stands out and those blossoms are so delicate and pretty and are perfect for ink-blending an ombre floral piece. I didn't realize it when I first saw it but as I kept reaching for the Swiss Dots Stamp Set, also from the Moments In Time release, I knew that this was going to be a staple in my craftroom.

I wanted a soft blend of pastels to complement our delicate vine and the color combo from Simon Says Stamp's Pawsitively Saturated Ink Line did NOT disappoint in creating a delightful and somewhat unusual ombre.
