"Birthday Extravaganza" is next month for Stamp Club, so I've been looking for Clean and Simple designs that will allow us to make a lot of fun cards in a short amount of time. The sketch from Freshly Made Sketches is perfect. This card allowed me to combine flower stamps from several stamp sets on one card. I used three different colors of ink. Several of the flowers were so delicate, I decided to double-stamp them to give them more volume. Finally, I decided that the center flower needed a little dimension, so I stamped it again, cut it out, and mounted it so it met the outside edge of the card. I had already popped up the stamped panel, so I just rolled a few glue dots to give the edge of the flower the dimension I wanted with out adding a lot of bulk. Because all of the detail of the design is in the top left corner, I added a small piece of topiary cardstock to the bottom right of the card.
Here's a list of what I used:
Stamps:
Wavy Blooms
(D1651) - 2 flowers
Springtime Wishes
(C1641) - flower and leaves
Joyful Birthday
(B1419) - sentiment
Paper:
Colonial White and Topiary cardstock
Inks:
Poppy, Sorbet, Pomegranate, and Topiary
