This card style was super fun to make. This can be easily done assembly line style - by having multiple card fronts cut, and just stamping every card front with one color, then the next and again the next. I'm showing you two color options - of three ink colors each - but really, you could quite easily swap out the colors, or add additional colors (I would stick to 5 as the maximum number of colors, to keep the project from becoming a bit too busy).
I started with my lightest colors - Blushing Bride, and Soft Sky. I stamped my card fronts over some scratch paper, and I would ink my stamp, and then stamp off on the scratch paper before stamping on my card front. This gave a softer, more muted pattern to the background. I would stamp 4-5 flowers this way, then move on to my next color.
When I stamped my final colors, Calypso Coral, and Wisteria Wonder, I stamped just a few flowers on each card front with full strength ink (no stamping off before stamping on the card front). This helped add just a bit more dimension. I then stamped and heat embossed my sentiment.
Thanks for stopping by!
