For this card, I started with a ink blend of Peony into Surf into Limeolicious. I love the colors that were created in between each color. I added some water droplets to allow for some dimension. I then grabbed a piece of black cardstock for the back ground and stamped the Regal Hearts background stamp and then embossed it with White Embossing Powder. I did the same with some of the Florals from the Floral Love set and then added the sentiment from the Friendship Leafy Cluster set. I added them all together and viola!
