Pinkfresh Studio Leafy Envelope

I try hard not to buy a new release on the first day but this is one I couldn't resist. It's Pinkfresh Studios Leafy Envelope. I love the leaves popping out of the envelope, I was going to add some flowers for a bit of color, but in the end I just loved it the way it was. I used a piece of white cardstock and watercolored the leaves. The die cuts an outline of the envelope and leaves so I put all the pieces back in like a puzzle, I wanted it to look like a solid white envelope and green leaves. I used "do what makes your soul shine" from Pinkfresh's "My Favorite Things to Say" sentiment stamp set. I stamped it on the envelope and gold heat embossed it so it would shine.

It looked cute but not enough "shine" for the sentiment, so I tried a few things and in the end I die cut the same die in gold cardstock and glued the outline on top of the first one, and that made all the difference. I glued the envelope to a peachy pink card stock which I cut with a stitch edge die just for a little interest. I matted it on gold cardstock and glued a slightly smaller piece of fun foam underneath to pop it. The floral paper is also Pinkfresh Studio, isn't it pretty? Glued it all to a lilac card.

I have other ideas for this sweet die, maybe for Christmas with some red berries? Or a few orange flowers for Thanksgiving!
