Greetings!
I am falling in love with the slimline card! It opens the opportunity to showcase Designer Series Papers, embrace larger stamp images and still have room for embellishments and layers without feeling overcrowded. This card size fits in a standard #10 envelope.
The Nature's Harvest Designer Series Paper from the current mini catalog is a beautiful variety of soft colors as well as strong fall/harvest tones, making it useful in many styles of creativity. Today's card features a variety of techniques, textures and patterns, so hang on 😄.
The Color & Contour stamp set has a beautiful assortment of sketched flowers and leaves which are great to use for watercolor techniques. The splatters add a fun element to the background and helps tie it in nicely with the little branch print tucked behind it.

Here's How It's Made:
Ink splatter stamp with Crumb Cake and stamp diagonally on Shimmery White cardstock, stamping at least twice before re-inking, changing position of stamp each time so splatters don't look repetitive.
Ink flower stamp with VersaMark Ink, stamp onto Shimmery White cardstock, sprinkle with White Stampin' Emboss Powder, shake off excess and heat set with Heat Tool.
Squeeze closed Misty Moonlight ink pad to transfer ink onto lid (or use a couple drops of re-inker onto lid). Dip tip of medium Water Painter into ink, squeeze some water through tip to water it down, and lightly brush across Shimmery White cardstock over flower image. (Brush onto a scratch paper first to see depth of color and decide if you want it more watered down before brushing onto cardstock). Repeat until you are satisfied with the watercolor wash. Dry and flatten paper using the low setting on Heat Tool.
Shimmery White cardstock is an alternative to Watercolor Paper. It will not pill or shred as standard cardstock may when using watercolor techniques.
Tear off left long edge of Shimmery White cardstock so finished width is between 2-1/2 -2-3/4.
Emboss Crumb Cake cardstock strip with Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.
Ink "You're absolutely amazing" with VersaMark ink, stamp near bottom edge of Misty Moonlight print panel. Sprinkle with emboss powder, shake off excess, heat set with Heat Tool. Adhere panel to card front.
Tear left long edge of Crumb Cake branch print and adhere card front. Adhere embossed Crumb Cake strip on right edge of branch print, adjusting so sides appear centered on card base. Adhere completed image on card base, centered on Crumb Cake layers.
Adhere Diamond Weave Ribbon across stem of flower using Stampin' Seal+ or Tear & Tape adhesive, and zig zag end as shown in picture.
Adhere Misty Moonlight small and large In Color Square Gems onto card.
Here's what the inside looks like:
Cut Basic White cardstock 4-1/2 x 3. Ink flower stamp with Crumb Cake, stamp a portion in lower right corner. Use Water Painter to watercolor wash over image with Misty Moonlight, filling in flowers a bit extra.
Adhere Basic White onto a 5 x 3-3/8 piece of Misty Moonlight print. Adhere 1-1/8" down from top of inside of card.
Cut a 1 x 3-3/8 strip of Crumb Cake branch print, adhere above Misty Moonlight print. Cut a 2-1/8 x 3-3/8 piece of Crumb Cake branch print, adhere below Misty Moonlight print.
