Craft-a-Flower: Carolina Allspice
For my Calycanthus floridus, I wanted stay true to the burgundy floral color palette. I started with white panels of cardstock. I mixed shades of red and purple from my Altenew Crisp Ink stash to get varying shades of deep red and purple.
I supplemented these ink blends with colors in the Jewel Tones Mini Ink Cube Sets to get more interesting color combinations. I checked my die cut layers frequently to ensure I was getting realistic depth in the flower.
I made similar ink blends on the foliage, using the Jewel Tone Mini Ink Cube Set to supplement my greens. After arranging my flowers, I die cut the coordinating sentiment in Craft-a-Flower: Carolina Allspice. I added pure white ink splatters for a dreamy aura.

Amazing color Jaycee. Isn’t it funny; it’s called the Carolina Allspice but the scientific name is Calycanthus floridus? I have lived in Florida for 40 years and I don’t think I have ever seen this flower. Google says it has a lovely scent.
