Although I tried not to buy more floral sets, I knew as soon as I saw the Hand-Penned Bundle in the Annual Catalog that I HAD to have this one. I especially like the floral spray on today’s card. Initially I thought I would color it with Stampin’ Blends but decided to just use the two-step stamp method that the set was made for. Honestly, it took a few tries to get the color combination and the actual stamping the way I wanted it. At least with this set, the two-step is quite forgiving! Anyway, I think it made a pretty birthday card.
The card base is Basic White thick card stock. A pattern from the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper is cut at 5 1/4″ x 2″ and glued to the bottom of the Highland Heather (5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″) panel, leaving a 1/8″ border on the bottom and sides. Next I embossed a piece of Basic White (5 1/4″ x 2 1/4″) card stock using the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder. Before gluing it, I added the scalloped border using a die from the Penned Flowers dies. Once both top and bottom panels were adhered to the Highland Heather panel, I wrapped a piece of Gorgeous Grape 3/8″ ribbon around it. Then it was glued to the card base.
I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment which is from the Sweet as a Peach stamp set.
After stamping the floral image using black, Pale Papaya, Highland Heather, Flirty Flamingo and Pear Pizzazz inks, I cut it using the coordinating Penned Flowers die. I also cut it out two more times to layer instead of using dimensionals. Lastly, I added a few matching (retired) rhinestones.
The inside sentiment is from the Pansy Patch stamp set. The envelope is stamped to coordinate with the card.
