Hey Wild Whisper Fans, Katelyn here! For today's project, I've created this pretty and subtle card, perfect to send to a friend or a loved one. To create my Thinking of You Card, you'll need the Floral Paper Pack, the Happy Tails Stamp Set, Nicole Wright Designs Fanciful Bloom Stamp Set and Pam Bray Designs Watercolor Paper Pack. Grab a cup of your favourite beverage and learn how to recreate my card at home.
To start, choose a piece of the patterned paper out of the Floral Paper Pack. Die cut a 4" Stitched Rectangle out of the paper. Ink the edges of the paper using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
Choose two more patterned papers from the Floral Paper Pack. From one of the patterned papers, die cut a 4" Stitched Indented Rectangle out of the paper. From the other piece of patterned paper, die cut a 3 1/2" Stitched Indented Rectangle out of the paper. Ink the edges of both rectangles using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
Choose one of the papers out of Pam Bray Designs Watercolor Paper Pack. Die cut a 2 1/2" Stitched Circle out of the paper. Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the Thinking of You stamp from Nicole Wright Designs - Fanciful Bloom Stamp Set and stamp in the middle of the stitched circle. Ink the edges of the circle using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
From the Happy Tails stamp set, you'll need both flower bunch stamps. Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the small flower bunch stamp and stamp onto a piece of watercolour cardstock. Reapply ink to the stamp and stamp onto the same piece of cardstock.
Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the large flower bunch stamp and stamp onto the same piece of watercolour cardstock. Reapply ink to the stamp and stamp onto the same piece of cardstock. Colour the flower images in using your chosen colouring. I used a waterbrush and watercolours to colour in my flowers. Fussy cut the flower bunches out. Ink the edges of all four flower bunches using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
Cut the doily down to 3 1/4".
Adhere the 4" stitched indented rectangle to the 4" stitched rectangle. Adhere the 3 1/2" stitched indented rectangle to the 4" stitched indented rectangle.
Adhere the flat side of the doily to the left hand side of the 3 1/2" stitched indented rectangle. Foam square the stitched circle to the middle of the doily.
Use adhesive and foam squares to adhere one of the small flower bunches to the top right side of the stitched circle.
Use adhesive and foam squares to adhere both large flower bunches and the remaining small flower bunch to the bottom left side of the stitched circle as desired. To finish the card, cut a cardbase out of white cardstock that measures 4" x 10 1/2", score at 5 1/4". Adhere the cardfront to the cardbase.
Here are a few closeup photos of the finished card.
