Post 123: Spring Card 1

Hi!!

I'm so glad you've taken the time to visit me here. I truly appreciate it :) Today I'd like to share a floral card in celebration of spring and good friends.

This is a top folding A2 size card and there are 3 colors used on it besides the neutrals: pink, purple and green. 

The process is pretty straight forward, I took the panel which is a stitched rectangle die cut and did ink blending through a beautiful floral stencil by artplorations, to get a soft pink floral pattern in the background. Then I stamped the floral images and the sentiment from the uniko stamp set onto the card using archival ink. Did some simple coloring with zig markers. And finally adhered the panel to the card base in a tilted "off the edge" way for added interest.

List of Supplies:

1. Uniko Stamps- Originally Organic
2. Artploration Stencil- Bloom Boldly 
3. Gina Marie Designs Stitched Rectangles Die 
4. Tissue Tape
5. Iris Cardstock 250 gsm
6. Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers 
7. Ranger's Archival Inkpad- Jet black
8. Sizzix Big Shot Plus for die cutting
9. Ranger's round blending tool and foam
10. Tim holtz mini distress inkpad- picked raspberry


Here are a few pictures of the card :--
