I was stamping the beautiful, watercolour style flower from the Avant Garden stamp set in different colours, looking for inspiration for a clean and simple card for a friends’ birthday when I stumbled across Tempting Turquoise, a colour I don’t use very often …………. and I loved it.

I took a panel of Whisper White and stamped the flower once and then again, lower and to the right without re-inking to get a 2nd generation flower. I added a stem in stamped using Wild Wasabi ink and then added leave using the 1st and 2nd generation Wild Wasabi ink. I stamped the sentiment from the same set in the Wild Wasabi and added a small Linen Thread bow using a Mini Glue Dot.

I loved the stamped panel but knew the card needed something else to pull it together. I tried a strip of dsp from the The Brights Paper Stack in the Tempting Turquoise but it wasn’t quite what I was looking for. Ribbon didn’t work either, so I started browsing through my stamp sets looking for a border stamp that might work. At that point my order arrived – whoop whoop – and in it was the gorgeous lacy Delicate Details stamp set. This was exactly what I was looking for.
I stamped the lace edge border stamp in the Tempting Turquoise to the left side of the Thick Whisper White card base and added the stamped layer next to it using Dimensionals.
Such a simple card but so pretty. I hope my friend likes it.
