WPlus9 | Foiled Floral Birthday Card

Hello, friends. Have you seen the new release from WPlus9? Dawn always designs the most gorgeous products and then makes the most amazing cards using them. While I don’t have the brand new stamps from WPlus9, I do have a set from last Summer I haven’t had the chance to play with – Thinking of You. I’ve been meaning to create something pretty using it for a long time now but never had the time. Well, now amidst the quarantine, all I have is time on my hands, so I finally stamped a simple, yet pretty card.

CARD DETAILS

Dawn, the owner of WPlus9, has quite a talent for gorgeous freestyle flowers. I have many of her floral stamps in my stash and I treasure them dearly. The Thinking of You set, I feel, is one of those I’ll be reaching for over and over again as these dainty flowers are simply amazing.

You can stamp the flower outlines using black ink, but I opted to use the darker shade and skipped using any black on this card. I used several colors of ink from WPlus9 for my stamping, although any pretty ink colors will do. I used the following: Cockleshell, Bloomsberry, Hayride, Wild Mango, Pumpkin Spice, Shell Pink, Little Piggy, Sweet Gelato, Last Leaf. I also used Forever Green, a nice dark green from Hero Arts.

The stamp set does come with a beautiful Thinking of You sentiment, but I wanted to make a Birthday card instead, so I used one of my foiled sentiments and foiled on that reads “Happy Birthday” using gold foil and white cardstock.

I also added a pretty foiled circle using my Foliage Border set (I stamped additional flowers onto the circle and especially overlapping some of the foiling). And added a dotted foiled border around the entire panel using a new Essential Rectangle glimmer plate set.

I love how the foil adds an elegant touch to the dainty stamped flowers, it looks simply amazing. I cut the panel to 4 x 5 1/4″ and foam mounted onto the A2 gray card base. I also foam mounted the foiled circle and to add dimension to the sentiment I die-cut several and stacked them together using glue.

I also used several sequins from the Sunken Treasure sequins mix from Simon to embellish this card.

I don’t really have anyone with an upcoming birthday (I didn’t make this card for anyone in mind, just for fun), but it’s always good to have a spare Birthday card on hand, just in case.
