CARD DETAILS
I wanted to create a simple card and incorporate several flowers that appear to be hand painted and WPlus9 Freehand Flowers stamp set was perfect for this occasion! I used my Altenew inks and went with a rather traditional color combo fo any floral arrangement – yellow, pink and green. The reason I chose this brand of ink is because they almost do not stain stamps and I wanted these flower stamps to be stain free (at least for now).
The colors of inks I used are:
- Yellows: Buttercream, Mango Smoothie and Warm Sunshine
- Pinks: Frosty Pink, Cotton Candy and Coral Berry
- Greens: Frayed Leaf and Forest Glades.
I also wanted to mention the type of paper I used to stamp these onto – I used Simon’s 120 LB Ultra Thick White Paper; I tried stamping onto other kinds of paper first, but I didn’t like the results.
I also incorporated several dies into my project, I used a Scalloped Oval and a Stitched Border dies from Pretty Pink Posh. The scalloped Oval was inlaid into my background panel as it works a frame around the sentiment and the flowers and helps bring everything together.
