WPlus9 | Friendship Floral Card with Freehand Florals

One can never have too many friendship cards so the other weekend I sat down to make a few to have on hand whenever needed. I felt like it’s been a long time since I used any florals in my projects so I settled upon the gorgeous Freehand Florals stamp set.

CARD DETAILS

If you are an avid WPlus9 blog reader, you might remember a video Dawn Woleslagle filmed to best showcase this stamp set. In her video she mentions that when using Freehand Florals with companion dies it is best to do die cutting first and stamping later to have perfect alignment.

Following her advice I die-cut several of each element from this set and later stamped images using a yellow, teal and pink color combo. For my yellows I used: Hayride, Wild Mango, Pumpkin Pie; to stamp teals I used: Sea Breeze, Ocean Drive, Siren Song; for the pinks I went with: Shell Pink, Little Piggy and Sweet Gelato.

I also picked one of my favorite background stamps, Dockside Background, and stamped the interlocking rope image in Fairy Dust color onto Oatmeal cardstock to create a faux garden trellis. I had some leftover Last Leaf green ink on my stamp so my impression turned out to be somewhat green-gray. An unexpected, but rather pleasant surprise.

To create a sentiment for this project I used a beautiful message from the Strictly Sentiments 4 set and stamped it in black ink. Sentiment reads “You Have Always Been and Will Always Be My Best Friend”.

Lastly, I added a few clear and light gray enamel dots using Nuvo Drops.
