Sending Smiles Wreath - Hero Arts

Sending Smiles Wreath

Hi everyone! llina here. Today I am sharing a fun card using the new Flower Bouquet Pieces stamp set and the coordinating Frame Cuts. This versatile set can be used to create a bouquet with the included wrapper stamp, or to create a wreath as I'm showing today.

To make the card start by stamping one of the flower images using Intens-ified Black ink on Dove White cardstock and watercolor them with Taffy, Pool Party and Lemon Drop Reactive Inks. Once colored (and dried) die cut them. Set them aside. You will need 8 flowers.

Cut a 4" x 5 1/4" panel from Dove White cardstock and stamp leaves with Intens-ified Black ink. I used the Gina K wreath builder template to stamp the leaves. Once stamped, watercolor them using Key Lime Fizz and Green Apple Reactive Inks. Adhere the flowers using foam adhesive to give them some dimension.

Stamp sentiment on Pitch Black cardstock using Clear Embossing and Watermark Ink and emboss in white. Cut to size and adhere over the wreath.

Using fun foam, adhere the stamped panel onto a top folding Pitch Black note card (4 1/4" x 11" piece of cardstock scored in half). Decorate with Sunset Enamel Dots.

Thank you so much for stopping by and hope you have a wonderful day!
