Steps to Create a Layered Effect with Stampin' Blends

1. Using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, stamp the Simply Zinnia on a Basic White cardstock die cut with the Simply Zinnia largest rectangle.
2. Next, color in the leaves with Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, and Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends. The shading technique will create realistic stems and leaves - color the dark areas first and then blend with the light tones. 
3. Select a color for the Zinnia and fill in the petals. 
4. Using the scrap Basic White and Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad, stamp the Zinnia Flower. 
5. Start by coloring the center of the flower with Lemon Lolly Stampin' Blends.
6. Using various hues of Stampin' Blends, create multicolored flowers in purple, pink, and berry tones. See the chart below for color ideas. 
7.  Fussy cut out each flowerhead. 
8. Add the flowerheads to the base image using Dimensionals.
