Birthday Florets card for the Fitting Florets Blog Hop

Posted on November 3, 2022November 1, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Fitting Florets Blog Hop where we are using the new Fitting Florets collection to make a card. I decided to make my card using only the Framed Florets stamp set to make my project.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the birthday florets card, you will need:

Flirty Flamingo card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded lower right corner
Old Olive card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded lower right corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – rounded lower right corner, one for the outside
Old Olive card – 3¾” by 1¼”

Using Post It tape I masked off a strip about 1¼” deep across one of the panels of Basic White card. I stamped above and below the mask, overlapping the masking tape.

I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink and I started with the larger leafy spray. The larger flower was stamped next, then the smaller flower followed by the pair of leaves and the sprig of berries.

The following Blends Pens were used to colour in the images – Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo, Pumpkin Pie, Mint Macaron and Old Olive. The masking tape was then removed and the panel glued to the Old Olive layer. I used the same glue to adhere the panel onto the Flirty Flamingo card base.

I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set with Versamark ink, covered it with White Embossing Powder and heat set it. I added it where the masking tape had been using Dimensionals.
