I’ve had this little pile of scraps on my table for quite a while so I finally decided I was going to just make a card right away with these stamped and diecut pieces. From that, I came up with this Textured Floral Hello Card just made of scraps!
The card base is Bubble Bath, one of our new colors. I thought that was the color these large flowers were probably stamped with. I added a layer of Basic White since the flowers were so light in color. As I tried out various flower arrangements I decided to add some texture in the background with the dotted stamp in the Textured Floral Stamp Set. I stamped these randomly in Lemon Lime Twist.
I also had three smaller flowers stamped in other colors – Highland Heather, Fresh Freesia, and Calypso Coral. I just played around with the placement of the flowers, the leaves, and the foliage stems until I was happy with it. At this stage, it’s often a good idea to take a picture with your phone so when you pick up the pieces to glue them down, you will be able to put them back in the design that you liked!
Here’s kind of a similar card I made by stamping and diecutting with the Textured Floral Stamp Set.
Since I took up a lot of room with all the flowers and stems, I didn’t have much, if any, room for a greeting. I almost left it off because that is fine, too. But in the Go To Greetings Stamp Set, I found this very small “Hello” and I thought that was perfect! I stamped it in Fresh Freesia and diecut it with the smallest circle in the Stylish Shapes Dies. I also die cut the next larger circle in Fresh Freesia, but it wasn’t as close in size as I would have liked to this small circle and it took up too much room on my card. I thought the Hello by itself looked fine.
For embellishments, I added a little Brushed Brass Butterfly on one of the leaves. I also added three Tinsel Gems Three Pack in Fresh Freesia. And that finished off my card made out of stamped and diecut scraps!
