For the card I’m sharing today, I used some of my favorite companies for a mix-and-match project that, I think, came together seamlessly. The star of the show is a tulip from Spellbinders’ February 2024 Large Die of the Month Club<\/a>. I used Distress Inks to color the tulip die cuts and for more of that fancy-schmancy ink smooshing on the background panel. Using brown ink and just a touch of blue gave the panel an aged, patinated look, which paired beautifully with the seriously gorgeous Vintage Flora Background Stamp<\/a> from Honey Bee Stamps. I then die cut the panel using the Postage Stamp Edge Frame<\/a> from Simon Says Stamp and added a sentiment<\/a> from Hero Arts before securing the panel to a piece of woodgrain cardstock.
All the steps and supplies for this card are listed below. Thanks for stopping by!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEPS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.)<\/strong> Create the background panel.<\/strong>
\u25aa\ufe0f Die cut a piece of Distress Watercolor Cardstock using the largest Postage Stamp Edge Frame die and mask the edges with low tack tape.
\u25aa\ufe0f Using Walnut Stain, Gathered Twigs and Speckled Egg Distress Inks, smoosh the ink pads onto a glass work surface and spritz lightly with water. Use a paint brush to swirl the ink around a bit.
\u25aa\ufe0f Smoosh different areas of the cardstock panel into the inky puddles, just a few times before heat setting with a heat gun. Repeat the process, allowing some areas to remain white, until the panel reaches desired results.
\u25aa\ufe0f Using the Vintage Flora Background Stamp, stamp the panel with Pumice Stone Distress Ink.
\u25aa\ufe0f Remove the low tack tape and use a blending brush to lightly apply Antique Linen Distress Ink to the edges in a few places to give the paper for an aged look.
2.) Create the other card elements.<\/strong>
\u25aa\ufe0f Die cut all the pieces from white cardstock and use Distress Inks and blending brushes to color them. Assemble the tulip and small flowers and secure with liquid adhesive.
\u25aa\ufe0f Stamp the sentiment in black ink on white cardstock and die cut using the coordinating die. Add a little Antique Linen Distress Ink with a blending brush and a very light hand. Die cut a blank sentiment and stack the two together, securing them with liquid adhesive.
3.)<\/strong> Finish the card<\/strong>.
\u25aa\ufe0f Use foam squares to attach the tulip to the background panel. Use liquid adhesive to attach the stem, leaves, small flowers, and the sentiment.
\u25aa\ufe0f Trim a piece of woodgrain cardstock to 5 1\/2 x 4 1\/4 and add Gathered Twigs Distress Ink to the edges with a blending brush, darkening the woodgrain. Use liquid adhesive to attach the background panel to the woodgrain cardstock.
\u25aa\ufe0f Attach everything to an A2 side-fold card base and add embellishments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
