Wonderful Thoughts Pretty Florals Words of Support Card

Greetings! 

Today's card features a message from the Wonderful Thoughts stamp set that sometimes is just what someone needs.  A soothing color palette of muted blues and greens continues the message of a quiet safe space.  This all comes together with a print from the Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper (DSP) and coordinating Pretty Florals stamp & die bundle.


Techniques include two step stamping and die cutting.

Beverly's Tip of the Day

Where's the Cloud Cover stamp pad??

Sadly, the Cloud Cover ink color reacted with the material in the stamp pad, so the color was not consistent enough for Stampin' Up!'s quality requirements. 

To achieve an ink color similar to Cloud Cover, inking with Secret Sea and stamping the color off twice lightens it enough to closely resemble Cloud Cover.  

======================================================================

Ink message with Secret Sea, stamp onto Basic White die cut circle at center right, adhere to Soft Sea Foam circle.



Adhere DSP print to folded card base, centering, adhere circles slightly right of center, adhere flower cluster at left of sentiment with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.  Note:  I cut small strips of dimensionals to put behind each of the three leaves


Embellish with Cloud Cover Flat Pearls.
