I was playing with this set and several different easy card designs just came to me! This was one of them, even though I didn’t start off thinking I would use this greeting! The card base is Basic White, although the other cards I was making had colored cardstock bases. Just add a layer of the Pool Party patterned paper with the flowers and birds.
The greeting is stamped in Pool Party ink on Basic White and then die cut with one of the Stitched Rectangles Dies. The white paper and the little scalloped edge stand out just fine from the busy background so I didn’t need another layer behind the greeting.
For a little extra decoration, I stamped the two flowers in the set in Pool Party ink also, then cut them out by hand (easy enough!). I popped those flowers up on Stampin’ Dimensionals® covering part of the bottom of the greeting. It’s easy to just stamp these flowers in colored ink for the monochromatic look that you don’t have to color in!
The Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels were a great finishing touch as any sparkly embellishment is! I added two larger rhinestones to the flowers and then put three more of the smallest rhinestones on other parts of the card front. Can’t have too many jewels on a card! (Well, yes you can, but it’s hard to stop once you get started!!)
