For my first card, I stamped the four layers of the camellia onto Neenah Solar White 80# Classic Crest cardstock in Rose Quartz, Puffy Heart, Purple Wine, and Cosmic Berry Crisp Dye Inks. I stamped and die cut three blooms and set them aside.

For the background, I used a stamp from the Leaf Clusters stamp set to stamp several leafy branches in Mountain Mist Crisp Dye Ink around the edges of an A2-sized piece of Neenah. Then I stamped the sentiment in Permanente Black ink onto another piece of Neenah and backed it with foam tape.

To assemble the card, I adhered the blooms around the edges of the background, trimmed off any excess, and then adhered those extra pieces around the edges as well.  Then I adhered the sentiment and glued the card front to an A2-sized card base.

For my second card, I stamped a single bloom in Buttercream, Chamomile, Coral Bliss, and Ruby Red Crisp Dye inks.  Then I stamped the leaves, which each have three layers, in Lime, Fresh Leaf, and Shadow Creek. I die cut these elements and set them aside.

For the background, I masked off the edges of an A2-sized piece of Strathmore Bristol Smooth cardstock.  Using an ink blending tool with foam, I blended Peach Perfect ink into the unmasked area of the card, building up more color at the edges of the unmasked and fading a bit towards the center.  I removed the mask and then stamped the sentiment in Permanente Black ink.

To assemble the card, I adhered the leaves to the background, and then used foam tape to adhere the flower.  Finally, I adhered the card front to an A2-sized card base.
