Today I am sharing a pretty card inspired by fellow demonstrator Lorna Carter. I loved how Lorna used the Artistic Mix Decorative masks as backgrounds. I have used the same Hand Penned Petals stamp set to make my card but have changed up the colours.
Colours used in this project are:
To recreate the hand penned card, you will need:
Fresh Freesia card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Smoky Slate card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner
Scrap Basic White card
I placed one of the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks onto the smaller panel of Basic White card, holding it in place with a Post It Note. Using a Blending Brush, I added Fresh Freesia ink over the mask. The mask was the removed and the pattern revealed.

I stamped the sentiment from the Hand Penned Petals stamp set, in the lower left corner of the inked panel in Smoky Slate ink.

Using the same Smoky Slate ink, I stamped the larger group of flowers onto scrap Basic White card. A length of the Silver Metallic Mesh Ribbon was wrapped around the panel and secured on the back with Sellotape. The whole piece was then mounted onto the Fresh Freesia card base with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I used the following colours to stamp the infill images for the flowers and leaves – Fresh Freesia, Blushing Bride, So Saffron and Pear Pizzazz. The completed piece was mounted over the ribbon to the card front on Dimensionals.

A scattering of Iridescent Rhinestones completed the card. So pretty, I love the soft colour palette. Thank you for the inspiration, Lorna.
