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:
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.
