To make this card, I chose the new Garden Impressions 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and picked a coordinating color for the card base, Melon Mambo. I wanted to see what a designer paper would look like die cut with the new Springtime Impressions Thinlits Dies. And I think my verdict would be that it looks very pretty! Of course it depends on the paper design, but I chose one that would almost look like I watercolored the die cut flowers. That’s what makes this card so easy, really. Just run some paper through the Big Shot with this flowery Springtime Impressions Die and you have a beautiful piece to adhere to the card front. Then you are almost done except for adding a greeting and embellishing a little bit if you like. I can see so many possibilities with this die! There is also a butterfly die in this set, and that will be really pretty to use as well. Plus this one single little flower that I added to this card!
The greeting is one that is included in the Abstract Impressions Photopolymer Stamp Set and layered on Layering Ovals Fraemelits Dies. The Abstract Impressions Stamp Set has some nice, and different, greetings in it, not to mention the 2- or 3-step stamping flowers. We had a similar stamp set years ago and the color combinations of ink for stamping the flowers were endless. You don’t have to be precise with stamping the flowers because they are meant to have the “abstract” look! You can purchase this stamp set and these Springtime Impressions dies in a Bundle, the Abstract Impressions Photopolymer Bundle. Every Bundle saves you 10%!
I could have just had the die cuts and a greeting, but I decided to embellish the card a little bit. I popped the greeting up on Stampin’ Dimensionals and “swished” some Whisper White 1/8″ Sheer Ribbon back and forth behind the greeting. I also added some of the new Share What You Love Artisan Pearls in Petal Pink.
