But wait, there's more! I'm ready to walk you through making your own simply perfect peek-a-boo floral card. Let's concoct some crafting magic.

Here are the supplies you need:

• Build-A-Garden Frilly Begonia
• Embossing Ink
• Rose Gold Crisp Embossing Powder
• Rouge Fresh Dye Ink
• Sunray Crisp Dye Ink
• Jade Fresh Dye Ink
• Eucalyptus Fresh Dye Ink
• Woodless Coloring Pencils
• Glue Tape & 3 Refills Set
• Glitter Cardstock Set – Gilded
• Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock
• Jet Black Cardstock (15 sheets/set)

I started by stamping the large image from the Build-A-Garden Frilly Begonia Stamp Set onto a piece of Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock using Embossing Ink and then heat set using Rose Gold Embossing Powder. I then colored the image using the coordinating simple coloring stencil. I used Rouge and Sunray Inks for the flowers, and for the leaves, I used Sunray, Jade, and Eucalyptus Inks. Once the image was colored, I added details to the petals using the Coral Bliss Woodless Coloring Pencil. When the image was complete, I cut this out using the coordinating die and then cut a further three just from white cardstock. I then adhered the colored image and 2 of the black die-cuts together using glue tape. A portion of the card front was removed just so that the top leaf and half of the topmost flower could be adhered to it- again using glue tape. The remaining black die cut was added inside the card behind the other die cuts to hide the cut line. To add a little extra sparkle, I added a gold glitter sheet from Gilded Glitter Cardstock Sheets to the inside of the card- this can be seen from the front ‘peeking' through the die-cut image.
