 I love the elegance of these beautiful botanical images.

This is another kit that is just awesome just the way it is; so I played with ways to step it up a bit without changes it's beauty.  First of all I cut the Scallop base apart to make two card layers.  My first card is very feminine.  I layered one of the above pieces onto a cardbase of Pretty in Pink. Then I embossed a 4" x 5" piece of Pretty in Pink using the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder and layered it next over to the left.  This made a beautiful pallette to add my flower, sentiment and gems to.

Then I took the other half of the scallop layer and changed it up a bit to make a more masculine version.  For this one we started with a Mossy Meadow base and layer.  The layer was embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing folder.  I thought the scallops were a bit feminine, so I used my paper cutter to trim off the edges making it look a pit more like a postage stamp image.

Then layered it all again using the fern image and one of the vellum leaf sprigs that really pops against the dark background.  I wanted the envelope to match, so I trimmed the label edges too. 

I love how these turned out, and how versatile this makes this kit.
