Floral Wreath for the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop where we are sharing projects inspired by a sketch and the current In Colors. I have used the gorgeous So Refreshing stamp set and dies to make my card.

 

 

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the floral wreath card, you will need:

Sweet Sorbet card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Parakeet Party card – 5⅛” by 3 ½”
Basic White card – 4⅞” by 3¼”
Parakeet Party card – 2⅛” by ⅜”
Basic White card – 2” by ¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White & Parakeet Party card

 

Using the infill floral image, I stamped in the upper left and lower right corners of the Sweet Sorbet card base with Sweet Sorbet ink.

The 4⅞” by 3¼” panel of Basic White card was embossed using the Quatrefoil Embossing Folder. I cut it from corner to corner using my Paper Trimmer and glued it to the Parakeet Party layer. The whole panel was glued to the Sweet Sorbet card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I mounted the leafy spray onto the plate of my Stamparatus and stamped it 6 times in Parakeet Party ink onto scrap Basic White card. The outline flower image was stamped in Sweet Sorbet ink using the Stamparatus. I found this was the easiest way to get the flowers in the correct place.

The infill flowers were stamped in 2nd generation Sweet Sorbet ink. The flower sprays were then die cut using the So Refreshing Dies. I also die cut some extra leaves from scrap Parakeet Party card.

The long stem of the spray was cut off and the flowers were then arranged on the card front in a rough circle. I then glued each spray to the next with a dab of liquid glue and to the card front on Dimensionals. The extra leaves were then tucked in around the wreath to add more texture.

The sentiment, from the Sending Smiles stamp set was stamped in Parakeet Party ink onto the strip of Basic White card and then backed with the slightly larger piece of Parakeet Party card.

I tucked a bow, made from the Lemon Lime Twist Ribbon under the wreath with a Mini Glue Dot and added the sentiment over the top. A trio of gems were added to complete the card.
