Today's card was inspired by MFT Summer School - Complementary Colors at My Favorite Things.
"Complementary colors refer to colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel — yellow-purple, red-green, and orange-blue being the traditional complementary pairings." - Stephanie Klauck

The Modern Blooms are layering stamps so I used my MISTI and chose a lighter and darker shade of the two complementary colours. I started stamping the lighter shade of flowers and leaves in the lower left corner. After I stamped one colour, I would flip my cardstock so that the upper right corner was now at the lower left and then I stamped them again. I proceeded with each colour, first light and then dark, continuing to flip the cardstock and stamping until I was happy with the stamped pattern. I die-cut a stitched rectangle from the stamped panel, layered it with a coordinating cardstock rectangle and some craft foam for dimension, and then adhered it back on to the stamped panel. I stamped the sentiment in black and then finished off the card with some punched and die-cut butterflies, accented with cupped flower sequins. Gems were added to two of the flowers.
