Clean and Simple Floral Card

Hello friends,

Welcome to week #1 of CUPCAKE INSPIRATION CHALLENGE #575. I have this cute and adorable little shark focal points with some beautiful sentiments.

For my card, I began by stamping this beautiful floral image from the Build a Garden : Nature's Magic Stamp Set by Altenew. I stamped the image using Versafine Onyx Black ink and added some Clear Embossing Powder to give my floral arrangement some shine and dimension.

Next, using the Build a Garden : Nature's Magic Coordinating Stencil, I ink blending the entire stamped image. I used my SimonSaysStamp Pawsitively Saturated Inks in the shade Fairway, Blush and Sprout and Barn Door and Lumberjack Plaid Distress Inks.

I then die cut this image using the Build a Garden : Nature's Magic Coordinating Die Set.

The Build-A-Garden: Nature's Magic Stamp, Die and Stencil comes as a bundle and is not sold separately.

Now that our focal point is ready, it's time to work on the card front. For that I cut a white cardstock panel to 4" by 5 1/4" and wanted to add some color to this plain white panel. So I chose the SSS Sunbeam Pawsitively Saturated Ink to add some color around our floral arrangement. I then splattered some gold and silver metallic watercolor over the card front.

Before I adhere my focal point, I wrapped some Gold Thread around the panel and then placed my floral arrangement over it using some foam tape.

Finally, I have this little red and gold bow that I created using the Build a Bow Die Set by Kat Scrappiness. (Which is also the theme of our challenge for the next 2 weeks.)

I stamped and Gold heat embossed the "Wishing you a beautiful day" sentiment from the same Build a Garden : Nature's Magic Stamp Set.

Here's a closer look at the card.
