Good morning, friends and welcome back!! I’m here to share a thank you card made using the Blooms Fill-In Stamp Set along with its co-ordinating dies. This set is new to me and all I can say is “I’m in love!!”.
This set is full of possibilities. It is, in one word, genius. And because of the style of florals, it can be used for any season!! Just change up the colours and voila, a spring, summer, fall or winter card!!
I’m not sure what season my card would fit into as I used a dark colour to stamp the background. I used the Versafine Clair Ink in Morning Mist. Because this is a new and large stamp, I used my Misti and stamped it 3 times to get good coverage. TIP: I think I actually put too much muscle into the stamping because I lost quite a bit of the foliage detail.
After I stamped the background, I used various inks to fill in the blooms :). I took the coordinating die and cut each floral cluster out.
I wanted these bold clusters on a white background along with some dimension. I placed all the images roughly in the same spots that they were on the stamp itself. The actual stamp is slightly larger than an A2 card so they ended up being closer together. I adhered them all with foam adhesive.
I wanted this bold background to be the star of the show so I kept the sentiment very simple. I stamped the “thanks” onto a fishtail banner and adhered it to the centre of the card.
To give the banner some dimension, I manipulated the card stock to give it a bit of a bend. Then used Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive on the ends. This worked great!
For a little bit of a finishing touch, I used Nuvo Crystal Drops in a light shade of pink. This filled in some of the white space without being overly distracting.
I LOVE how this card turned out. Just imagine all the different looks you can get by just changing the colours!!
Thank you so much for stopping by today!! I hope you found a little inspiration here today!!
Until next time…stay crafty!!

These flowers could also be done with red and would look very Christmassy!
