All things bright and beautiful could be used to describe the Astrobright Cardstock. It is the perfect choice to pair up with the Heartfelt Creations Tropical Paradise Collection papers.


I chose to use Cosmic Orange, Solar Yellow, Pulsar Pink, and Gamma Green in 80# weight. I also used Re-entry Red in 100# weight ( it was harder to shape the Red flowers, next time I will use 80#)

Next I inked the edges of all the flowers and leaves (I did not use all of them on this project). I prefer to use a colored paper for the base of the flowers and add inked highlights. I can get richer colors with less work and time.


I attached a piece of patterned cardstock to the front of a Cougar 80# A2  Folded Card Base.


Using my Misti, I stamped the sentiment directly on the card front.


I used a stylus to shape the flowers and leaves. I layered some of the flowers and added Prills to the centers.
