Ready to create something that is full of florals and unforgettably beautiful? Then you’ll love today’s cards featuring the Memorable Blooms Bundle and the coordinating Sale-A-Bration Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper—which is popping with gorgeous color.
To make the first card, we used a Basic White Cardstock frame to create a striking backdrop for flowers and leaves die cut from our Sale-A-Bration Designer Series Paper. We finished with a simple stamping banner—Melon Mambo ink on Basic White Cardstock.
We stepped up the second card by stamping on the flower cluster using Blackberry Bliss ink, giving lovely definition to the flowers. We also die cut the frame from Watercolor Paper and heat embossed the sentiment—all simple additions that really bring the wow!
For the final card, we watercolored the floral frame with a Water Painter and ink (Blackberry Bliss, Melon Mambo, and Shy Shamrock). We then adhered additional die cuts and flowers from the Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper, plus a baker’s twine bow and our new, adhesive-backed Antique Pearls. So lovely!
This week I played with the Delightful Wishes stamp set and dies. This set just says spring to me, I am getting ready for it, I know that it is just around the corner. It's very cold here in Wisconsin, but I know that this card will warm you up!
