Posted on May 7, 2021May 4, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing 2 sweet floral cards made using a modified one sheet wonder (I only used ½ a sheet of card stock) and the new Color & Contour stamp set. This set is so versatile and so easy to use. I also used the gorgeous new 2021 – 2023 in colors.

Colours used in this project are:

Soft Succulent 5⅝ by 4”
Basic White 5½” by 3¾” for the inside

I began by stamping the outline large flower in clusters of 3 down the centre of the large panel of Basic White. I used Evening Evergreen ink and 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd generation stamping. The flowers were in-filled using the solid stamp and Polished Pink ink, again using 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd generation stamping.
