Striped Wisteria card for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

Posted on June 11, 2022June 3, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on recently. I am currently putting together a class featuring the Wisteria Wishes stamp set and, in addition to the 3 cards we will make in class I try to have other examples made using the set to demonstrate versatility. Today I am sharing one of my extra cards which I have called striped wisteria.

The colours used in this project are:

Basic White

Garden Green

Orchid Oasis

To recreate the striped wisteria card, you will need:

Orchid Oasis card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded upper left corner
Sun Prints dsp – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5” by 3½”
Garden Green card – 1½” by ¾” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner
Scrap Basic White strip

I began by die cutting a scalloped rectangle using the Scalloped Contour Dies.

The leafy branch was stamped in Garden Green ink towards the top of the scalloped rectangle and I added the trio of wisteria flowers using Orchid Oasis ink.

Okay, time for a confession, this was going to be a portrait card but………… I cut the striped dsp going in the wrong direction! Don’t you just hate it when you do something like that, so rather than just waste the dsp I turned the card around and transformed it into a landscape card. The dsp panel was glued to the larger Basic White layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and added to the Orchid Oasis card front using the same glue.

Using my Paper Trimmer, I trimmed off the top and bottom of my decorated scalloped rectangle and added it to the card front on Dimensionals. I actually quite liked how it looked.

The sentiment from the Sending Smiles stamp set was stamped in Garden Green ink onto the strip of scrap Basic White card and then die cut using the Sending Dies. I tucked the strip of Garden Green card under the stamped panel and added the sentiment over the top.

Using a Mossy Meadow Blends Pen I coloured in a trio of Basic Rhinestones and added them to complete the card.

I hop you like it.

The smaller panel of Basic White card was die cut using the lacy die from the Blossoming Happiness Dies. This die is stunning, it partially cuts and partly embosses, so pretty. This piece was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I die cut the flowers from the Hues of Happiness dsp, actually these are all the partial flowers from around the edge. These were arranged on top of the lacy layer.

The sentiment from the Happiness Abounds stamp set was stamped on the strip of Basic White card and die cut using the Beautiful Shapes Dies. I added it on Dimensionals to hide the messy cut off flowers.

Using Daffodil Delight and Polished Pink Blends, I coloured in 5 of the Basic Pearls and added them to the card front along with a double White Baker’s Twine Bow.
