Translucent Florals Wild Wheat & Boho Blue Plaid/Floral Card

Greetings!

The Translucent Florals stamp set truly is a set like no other.  The composition of the stamps is what's called DistINKtive™, designed in a way to give each stamp a shaded look, and this one is done beautifully with all the soft petals and leaves of the different stamps.  It looks like it is stamped on vellum even when it's stamped on solid cardstock.  It is bundled with a great set of dies which include dies to create layered flowers as well.  If you've not noticed it before I encourage you to take a moment and look at the beautiful Translucent Florals bundle.  

I played around with a few different colors before deciding on the Wild Wheat and Boho Blue.  These are both 2023-2025 In Colors and are lovely together.  I wanted a little something to compliment the beauty of the flower and the plaid print from the Let's Go Fishing Designer Series Paper (DSP) is the perfect choice.  I added a blue stripe in the white areas by using a straight edge and the Light Night of Navy Stampin' Blend marker.  It's an easy way to add a little more color to a DSP print.


See what I mean about the flowers and leaves.  It looks like it took some fancy watercoloring or magic stamping to get this look, but nope, it's simply stamp to ink pad, and inked stamp to cardstock.  Voila'!

Here's How It's Made:
On the Basic White 5-3/8 x 3 cardstock panel, ink the single stem with Wild Wheat, stamp in upper half of cardstock.  Ink 2-leaf stamp and stamp onto right side of stem.  Ink single leaf and stamp on left side of stem, re-ink, turn orientation of stamp, and stamp below 1st one, with some over lap, as shown here:


To add lines on Wild Wheat/Mossy Meadow/White plaid DSP print, use a straight edge and the Light Night of Navy Stampin' Blend Writing tip.  Draw lines vertically and horizontally as shown here:


Adhere stamped Basic White cardstock to right of DSP strip, which should have the same 1/16" border at right, top and bottom edges. Adhere enhanced plaid DSP strip to left side of Wild Wheat cardstock folded card front, overlapping Basic White panel slightly, leaving a scant 1/16" border on left, top and bottom edges.  

Ink multiple leaf stem stamp with Wild Wheat, stamp onto remaining Basic White cardstock piece.  Ink large flower stamp with Boho Blue, stamp onto Basic White cardstock, re-ink and stamp another flower, leaving space between pieces for die cutting.  Die cut all three pieces.

Adhere die cut leafy stem at bottom of Basic White panel, layer a die cut flower on top, and second die cut flower above stamped leaf & stem image near top of Basic White panel.


Ink "you're the best" with Wild Wheat, stamp onto Basic White cardstock near an edge.  Trim down to 1/2", cut an angle at both ends.  Adhere to Wild Wheat 3/8" Textured ribbon, adhere to card below lower flower, over leafy stem.

Embellish with Wild Wheat and Boho Blue In Color Dots.
