I splattered and dipped some white cardstock into Distress Inks in Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn. I diecut the leaf from green cardstock and used the negative space as a stencil with Mowed Lawn ink and a blending tool.
For the flowers, I used colored cardstock, saved a bit of time and ink. I took some Distress Oxides and colored the edges and centers to add a bit of dimension. In the photo you can see how the dies cut AND emboss some lines onto the flowers and leaves. If you use a blending tool and a darker shade of ink, it'll make the lines stand out.
For the 2nd card, I blended the background with Distress Oxide inks. I took a piece of vellum and stamped it and then heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I attached this vellum onto the inked background, hiding the glue under the white embossed flowers.
The Tropical dieset is Momenta #2157733.
The background stamp in the second card is Momenta #2117117.
