Hand Penned Flowers card

Posted on September 23, 2022September 17, 2022 by Mo Rootes

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.
