Hand-Penned Petals Congratulations Card

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…the Hand-Penned Petals bundle is one of my favorite sets in the annul catalog. So when they came out with the black and white coordinating Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper in the Sale-A-Bration catalog, it was one of the first things I snagged. Best of all, it’s FREE with a $50 order. I used the DSP to make this gorgeous Hand-Penned Petals Congratulations card.

Supplies:

• Hand-Penned Petals Stamp Set
• Beautifully Penned DSP (5 1/8” x 3 7/8”)
• Black Cardstock (5 1/2” x 8 1/2” scored in half for card base and 4 1/4” x 3”)
• Basic White Cardstick (Two cut at 5 1/4” x 4” and one at 4” x 2 3/4”)
• Ink Pads in Fresh Freesia, So Saffron, Soft Succulent and Black.
• Soft Succulent Blends
• Fresh Freesia Ribbon
• Adhesive of choice

Directions:

First I adhered my DSP to my Basic White cardststock and then attached that to my black card base. Next, I stamped the floral image onto my 4” x 2 3/4” Basic White cardstock.

Then I stamped the floral image with Fresh Freesia and So Saffron for the insides of the flowers and Soft Succulent for the leaves, before finishing it off by stamping the Congratulations sentiment in black. I then attached the floral image to the 4 1/4” x 3” piece of Black cardstock before centering it and attaching it to my card front. Next, I stamped the floral image on Basic White cardstock for the inside of my card

I then stamped the image with Fresh Freesia, So Saffron and Soft Succulent and then used my Soft Succulent Blends to color the stem. I then adhered it to the inside of my card.

I finished the card off by attaching a bow with Fresh Freesia ribbon. I just love the pops of color against the black and white designer series paper. You can get your own FREE Beautifully Penned DSP beginning August 3rd with a $50 purchase.
