Hello crafty friends! Welcome and thanks for dropping in!
My project is quite product heavy as I've combined six different stamp sets- ideally you need three different sized floral images, a variety of foliage and a 'dottage' stamp. I really enjoy stamping this way and will normally stamp a full sheet of cardstock then trim them into card fronts a bit like one-sheet-wonders. For this project though, I only stamped this.
Supples:
- Stamp Sets: Artistically Inked (background and sentiment), Colour & Contour (large flowers), Forever Fern (foliage, dottage), Heavenly Hollyhocks (medium flowers), Hand-Penned Petals (foliage, flower stem), Full of Love (small flowers)
- Cardstock: Basic White Thick and regular, Polished Pink, Evening Evergreen
- Ink: 2021-2023 In Colours - Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent, Pale Papaya, Polished Pink, Fresh Freesia
- Embellilshments: Champagne Rhinestones
- Trim a piece of Basic White Regular cardstock to a size that's slightly larger than your card front.
- Stamp the elongated watercolour image from Artistically Inked in 2nd generation Pale Papaya to provide a little texture and colour to your background. Don't stress too much about this step as it will be mostly covered and you could even not do this step.
- Depending on your preference, stamp either the detail or the fill-in floral image from Colour & Contour then swap to create a close cluster of three flowers in the centre using Polished Pink.
- Stamp one of the larger foliage stamps from Forever Fern in the 'valley' between each flower using 2nd generation Soft Succulent.
- Stamp the larger single flower from Heavenly Hollyhocks in Fresh Freesia around the outer edges of the larger pink flowers. Try and stamp in groups as room allows.
- Using full-strength Soft Succulent, stamp the larger leaf image from Hand-Penned Petals filling in the areas around the flowers. Don't be afraid to stamp over the existing images - this will create depth and dimension.
- Use the little trio of flowers from Full of Love and stamp these in Pale Papaya. You could substitute this stamp for the little group of four in Heavenly Hollyhocks.
- The floral stamp from Hand-Penned Petals was stamped in Evening Evergreen and I left off the lower section of the stem in most of my stamping.
- Lastly, add some 'dottage' again in Evening Evergreen using the image from Forever Fern.
- Trim this down and mat onto a piece of Polished Pink cardstock. I have a tiny 1/16" or 2mm border on all four sides.
- Attach this to your card base using Dimensionals. If posting, I would glue directly.
- Stamp your sentiment on a strip of Basic White and add a narrower strip of Evening Evergreen behind and attach with Dimensionals.
- Add a couple of Champagne Rhinestones either side for a little bit of sparkle.
- To finish off the inside, I've matted a piece of Basic White cardstock onto a piece of Polished Pink and glued it in. You could also add some stamping in one corner if you wanted to bring the design to the inside of your card.
