Finally had a chance to play with this set. I ordered the stamps, stencils and die and so glad I did! It looks better in real life than the photo on the packaging LOL. I don't have any Altenew inks as a Stampin'Up! demonstrator, so I used our Flirty Flamingo and Calypso Coral for the flowers and Parakeet Party for the leaves. Cutting all the images at one time with the large die was such a time saver. It was a little fiddly needing to mask off leaves in order to ink blend the flowers, and a little fiddly to place each stamp over the ink blended images, but honestly it is not a deterrent to having adorable results! Bonus: Since all the images cut out at one time, I can easily get three cards out of one session. I heartily recommend The Floral Whimsy. I was so happy with the results and I am so glad I ordered it! I'm going to turn these images into quick and easy Thank You cards but this can be used for any occasion.
Love the stencil and the fact that the coordinating stamps add such detail!
Such a cute set, and can be used in so many ways, such as using the full stencil to create a great background, consider blending ink, partial blending with ink and then shimmer paste, inking the stencils with sticky ink and then embossing the background, using only bits and pieces of the stencil in the same manner to create an eye catching pop on a solid piece of cardstock or use partial stencil pieces with other similar sized stencil for a background, or use with a large overall floral stencil background and then fill in spaces with parts of the Floral Whimsy in a monotone color scheme, or shimmer paste.
