This fresh pink floral card is perfect to give to mom and easy to make.
Today’s card is from our designer, April who said, “I created a soft background with the Leaf Stencil that was a perfect backdrop for these adorable flowers from the Butterfly Kisses Stamp Set. A little glitter to the flower centers and all around the loops of the largest Nested Loop Die add texture and a little pop to the card. I wanted this to be a very girly Mother’s Day card.” We love how it turned out. Follow along for the tutorial.
- Use Color Fuse #11 Grass ink, a Large Blending Brush, and the Leaf Stencil to ink blend on a piece of 3.25×4.5″ white cardstock.
- Add splatters to this panel with a paint brush and Color Fuse #11 Grass ink. Set aside to dry.
- Stamp two blooms plus the stem (twice) from the Butterfly Kisses Stamp Set with alcohol friendly black ink.
- Color images with alcohol markers, I used Olo Markers. I colored with pinks, yellows and greens.
- Die cut images using Coordinating Butterfly Kisses Dies.
- Use glossy accents to add iridescent glitter over the center of both flower images. Set aside to dry.
- Die cut largest die from Nested Loops Die Set from white cardstock.
- Go direct to paper with Color Fuse # 5 Blush ink on an A2 Piece of white cardstock. You could use colored cardstock as well but I like to create my own cardstock with this method. Notice I only used my ink pad on the outer edges (.75 to 1 inch) of the white panel and I did not cover completely.
- Add glitter to the loops of the panel that was die cut earlier. I decided to add a little interest to this to work with the glittered flower centers.
- Stamp mothers day sentiment from the Mothers Day Stamp Set on a piece of white cardstock with black ink then heat emboss with clear embossing powder.
- Die cut this sentiment using the smallest die in the Nested Loops Die Set.
- Stamp a sub sentiment from the Mothers Day Stamp Set directly on the stenciled piece in the upper left corner with black ink and heat emboss with clear embossing powder.
- Adhere stenciled panel to largest loop panel.
- Use foam squares to pop up blooms and sentiment.
- Adhere stems directly to stenciled panel.
- Pop up this entire piece on the direct to paper panel we created and adhere to a heavy weight card base.
