Need a whimsical birthday card for a special girl or woman you know? If they love bright, retro colors they’ll definitely love this floral card.
Today’s bright card creation comes from our Associate Designer, Julie, who is bringing the pink floral vibes! All you need is one stamp set, one stencil, a trio of dies & your choice of ink colors to create this fabulous birthday design. The flowers are a two part stamp from our “Wild Beauty Watercolor” set and come with a solid petal image to ink & stamp so it needs no other coloring, which is fantastic. Follow along with these simple steps to recreate this card.
- To make my card, I stamped the solid of the flower petals several times w/ shades of pink, red & yellow. On a couple of the stampings, I. misted it w/ water to help it spread out a bit.
- Then the black outline was stamped on top. You can stamp the outline first, if you prefer, but I find when I’m doing repeated inking & stamping, sometimes it fades or covers the outline a little.
- t was die cut along w/ the greeting.
- A pair of swanky ovals, one plain, one scalloped, were die cut to go behind the flowers.
- For the stenciled panel, I used the same inks for the flowers plus the addition of a bright pink Distress ink.
- It was trimmed to fit on the left w/ a white scallop edge cut underneath the right edge.
- The flower panel, greeting & ovals are popped up each one more layer.
