Stamp with Fran : Blossoms in Bloom

The inspiration for this card came from fellow demonstrator Patty Bennett. I like how it turned out.

First gather your supplies:

Base: Seaside Spray 5½ x 8½" Scored at 4¼". Cut 1" off from the front, leaving a 3¼" card front.

Layer 1: Night of Navy - Use the decorative dotted edge die from Ornate Layers Dies (about 2¼ x 5½")

Layer 2: Whisper White 4 x 5", stamp, then cut in half. (makes 2 cards)

Inside: Whisper White 4 x 5¼".

Whisper White: 2" circle punch

Daffodil Delight: 2¼" circle punch

Night of Navy: 2nd largest scalloped layering circle

Bumble Bee Gingham Ribbon 8"

Sponge dauber

Stamp Sets: Peaceful Moments and Blossoms in Bloom

Inks: Night of Navy, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Seaside Spray and Versamark

Paper Trimmer

Adhesives

Envelope

Acrylic Blocks

Now for the fun part! Stamp the two side edges of the card front with Versamark using two of the single flowers from the Blossoms in Bloom Stamp Set. Set that aside to dry as Versamark can smear.

Using the very large flower stamp, ink it up with Seaside Spray, but don’t stamp it yet. Use the sponge dauber and Night of Navy to color in the center portion of each flower then stamp onto the 4x5” cardstock. Cut it in half lengthwise after stamping. Add a couple small flowers and leaves with Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green to each half, then adhere to the die-cut.

Stamp the small circle then glue to the Daffodil Delight, then to the Scalloped circle. Glue to the card front but to be careful not to put glue past the center, put a light pencil line on the back. Tie the ribbon into a bow and adhere with Mini Glue Dots.

The inside and envelope: Place a faint pencil line on the cardstock (remember to erase it) so you know not to stamp past it. Stamp the sentiment with Night of Navy (I actually cut off 'This special day will bring', but you don't have to). Stamp a flower and leaves on the inside of the card and on the envelope.
