I was immediately drawn to this Floral Statements stamp set on page 163 in the 2017-18 Annual Catalog. The two stamp images in this set themselves when stamped and colored on a simple note card are all you need. But of course I had to add in a bit more, and so I came up with these two designs. I hope you like them.

If you wish to recreate them, here are measurements and a few directions to guide you. (The products I used to make them are shown below and linked to my online store.)

Measurements:

• Whisper White Thick Cardstock:
  • (base of card) 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" scored at 4-1/4" and
  • (top layer) 4-1/2" x 3-1/4"

A Few Directions:

• Emboss the front of the folded 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" Whisper White card base with the Pinewood Planks embossing folder. Use the sponge brayer and roll on Smoky Slate ink to tint wood planks.
• Stamp the "Thanks" or "Hello" image onto the 4-1/2" x 3-1/4" Whisper White piece using the Memento Ink. Color floral images with Watercolor Pencils, then use the Blender Pen to soften the color and create a watercolored look.
• Flip over and add a 1/2 Delicate White Doily to the left edge.
• Attach this layer to the front of the card using Dimensionals.
• Tuck in and attach a 1/2 Metallic Doily under the white doily.
• Add a few Rhinestones if you wish.
