Hey everyone! Welcome to the Waffle Flower June 2022 Release Blog Hop! This month at Waffle Flower it’s something a little new! For the first time, WFC has a limited edition kit with regular release items to coordinate with the kit. The inaugural kit was designed by our very own Galina Fillippenko and features the cutest tropical theme. We’ll get to that one later😉 But first up are some goodies from the June release! My first card uses the beautiful Layered Orchids die set!
Just like the other layered flower dies at WFC, this set is easy to work with and has gorgeous detailing! I was going for an elegant CAS look so I made the flowers the focal point layered over an arch label (Nesting Portrait Arches Dies). I also used a larger arch die to create a negative space and a large frame. The frame has some stitching detail from the Dashed Rhombus Panel Die.
For my next card, I used the Layered Orchids set to mimic a flower painted or framed pressed flower. The medium flower fits perfectly in the medium frame from the Wooden Frame Die set. I used the Dashed Rhombus Panel die again for this one too.
To get a natural look to my orchids, I used my small blending brushes to give just a bit of coloring here and there. I also used the brushes to color the stems, leaves, and vase. The gold foil sentiment is the Simply Said Hugs foil plate and die and the little vase is from Vase Variety Set.
This month also features this cute new stencil duo, the Half-Half Tropical Leaves stencil duo! It is so cute! I love the half-half design because you can still use it to create a single color look. I paired it with a sentiment from the new Tropical Kit and the Jungle Birthday Combo (an oldie but goodie)!
And speaking of kit, my next card uses supplies from the new Tropical Kit from Galina! This kit includes the most amazing cockatiel die and I could not wait to use it in a card! it’s so easy to put together and there’s lots of other tropical extras in the die set. I wanted a really tropical look, so I created an alcohol ink background in lovely greens and blues. Of course, the star of the card is that amazing bird! The sentiment is one of the printed sentiments that come with the kit. Isn’t that bird adorable?
