I started with a layer of Whisper White measuring 5¼” by 3½”. I took the gorgeous leaf and floral sprig and inked it up using the Lemon Lime Twist marker for the leaves and the Fresh Fig marker. I used the brush tip to apply the ink and huffed on the stamp to reactivate the ink before stamping down in the lower right corner of the Whisper White panel.

I rounded the upper right corner of the stamped panel using a Detailed Trio Punch and adhered the panel to a piece of Poppy Parade cardstock with a rounded upper right corner. I used Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to do this and used the same glue to adhere the panels to a Fresh Fig card base.

I stamped the larger rose image in Poppy Parade ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and die cut it using the co-ordinating Frosted Bouquet dies. I love the dimension that these flower stamps have. I added the rose over the stamped sprig using a dimensional.

The sentiment from the Itty Bitty Greeting stamp set was stamped in Fresh Fig ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and punched out using the Classic Label Punch. I added a ¼” wide strip of Poppy Parade cardstock behind the sentiment using the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and trimmed so that a little of the colour showed on either side. The sentiment was added to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. Using the dark Poppy Parade Blends Marker I coloured in 3 of the smallest Basic Pearls and added them to the card front.

I inked up the sprig stamp again with the Lemon Lime Twist and Fresh Fig Markers and stamped it onto a layer of Whisper White measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝”, rounded the upper right corner and glued it inside the card. I stamped the same image on the front of an envelope.

A really simple but sweet card, I hope you like it.
