Another fantastic release, my friends, with a bit of everything; stamp and die sets, of course, but also amazing stencils.

For my layout today, I have decided to use the gorgeous Hibiscus Garden 3D Die Set. This might be my new favorite of the layered die sets; it is very detailed and allows for colorful combinations.

I started by picking bright, summery colors to go with the tropical feel of the set. I used patterned paper from the Enchanting Washes Paper Pack, as well as plain cardstock in coordinating colors, for the flowers. I assembled them all before continuing on with my design.

To prepare the background, I adhered strips of Red Ombre Washi Tape where the flowers would go – I like that you can see it here and there, picking through the clusters of hibiscus.

Foam dots were used to adhere everything down and give not only dimension, but also a more natural look to the images.

For the photo, I decided to keep it simple with just a plain white border. I tucked it under the flowers and repeated the washi tape element by placing a thin strip behind its right side.

Last but not least, the title. I combined the Brush Alpha Die Set with the Mega Happy Die to bring in some variety. I love how colorful it is! Again, I used papers from the Enchanting Washes Paper Pack and cardstock that coordinated with all the other colors on the page. Enamel dots finished the layout.
