I created this month's customer thank you cards, and I decided to use Bunch of Blossoms. I am using up the last of the Succulent Garden Designer Series Paper, and felt this was a good background for my cards.
I really like how well the Calypso Coral popped when I stamped it on the Watercolor Paper, and used the Aqua Painter to soften the colors a bit.
As you can see, the 3 step stamp see really offers itself for some nice variation in the petals for some fun depth without a lot of fuss.
And while I mention fussy, no need to fussy cut any of these fun stamped images because we have a coordinating punch which does all the work for you.
I hope my customers will enjoy this fun thank you card, and "re-gift" it to someone who will also appreciate it mucho.
Now the details…….
Thick Whisper White Cardstock – 5-1/2" X 8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4"
Succulent Garden Designer Series Paper – 4-1/8" X 5-3/8"
Tip Top Taupe Cardstock – 3-1/4" X 4-1/4"
Whisper White Cardstock – 3" X 4"
Watercolor Paper to stamp petals and leaves
Cut and score as documented above the card base. Using the 3" X 4" piece of Whisper White Cardstock, stamp the small dots on the upper right side of the cardstock using Tip Top Taupe Classic Ink. Stamp the flower stems using Wild Wasabi Classic Ink.
Stamp the petals and leaves on the Watercolor Cardstock, and "before" you stamp the definition stamp, use your Aqua Painter to blend the ink on the paper for both the petals and leaves. Then stamp the detail stamp on each with the Black Archival Ink. Use the coordinating punch for both.
Add some dimensionals to the back of both petals and one of the leaves, place them on your 3" X 4" piece of Whisper White Cardstock.
Adhere this panel to the Tip Top Taupe piece of Cardstock, and add some dimensionals to the back of this piece. Adhere the Succulent Garden Designer Series Paper to the Thick Whisper White card base, then pop up your panel.
Lastly, using the Linen Thread, make a 4 loop bow and adhere with a glue dot. You're done!
"Blessings, and until the next time, remember to hug the ones you love, "none of us are promised tomorrow!
