WPlus9 | One Layer Spring Blooms Card. Video

Hello friends! We often get carried away with elaborate techniques and tricks and the cards we make become rather difficult to copy or mass produce. Today I decided to create a simple and approachable card featuring stamping only.

CARD DETAILS

I picked Spring Bloom stamp set to do most of my stamping and also Bold Banner Greetings stamp set for my sentiment. For my color combo I went with something new. I used Warm Wool, Sweet Nectar, Miami Spice and Siren Song. A rather unusual color combination, but definitely a fresh and fun one to try.

This card features stamped pattern that consist of one image – floral cluster being repeatedly stamped onto the background. I picked one of the large clusters from the Spring Bloom stamp set and stamped it 5 or 6 times to cover the front of my card. Only 3 times if you count full images, and not the little partial impressions.

I didn’t use my stamp positioner for this card and only did my stamping using a clear block as I didn’t feel I needed to use a MISTI or similar tool. The reason I picked this particular image and not something else is the striped detail on the leaves. Since I was making a very simple one layer card I needed to use something that would add additional interest. And those striped textured looking leaves fit the bill perfectly.

I stamped my image several times rotating it on my paper and making sure to leave enough white space for the sentiment and little florals. Overall I stamped it 6 times, but only 3 impressions ended up being almost complete on this card.

Next, while I still had room, I added a sentiment. You could (and probably should) start your stamping with a sentiment, but I planned ahead of time where I wanted my message to be, so I first stamped the other large elements on my card. For my sentiment I went with Hello, Lovely.

Next I added flowers inside the floral cluster and I stamped those using the lighter peach color, Sweet Nectar. Flower centers were stamped in the same Warm Wool color and again I loved how a center was not a solid image, but rather a textured-looking one. I also stamped some additional stems and flower buds in a slightly darker peach, Miami Spice.

Lastly I added little berries in Siren Song ink color. You can skip adding those and go with sequins or enamel dots or some other embellishment for your project, but I wanted to keep this card absolutely one layer so I added stamped berries instead.
