Hello Bouquet

Oh, hi!  Yep. . .you guessed it. I'm still working with the Hello Lovely stamp set.  It's a thing I do when I get a new set.  I try to make as many cards as I can with different layouts and techniques.

So, for this card, I decided to use the whole floral spray and incorporate my Cricut so I could inlay a die-cut word.

I started out with a piece of 80# Neenah Solar White card stock that measures 5.5" x 4.25".  I stamped the image using Altenew's Dark Chocolate ink.  Since I was going to go with pink flowers, I thought that a brown ink would be a little bit softer than black ink.

After I had the main image stamped, I stamped the layers of the large pink flower with Frosty Pink, Cotton Candy, and Coral Berry inks by Altenew.  I stamped the pink bud with Cotton Candy.

The yellow flowers were stamped in Mango Smoothie and the little daisy-ish flowers were stamped in Sno Cone.

The leaves were stamped in Memento Pear Tart, except the tiny sprig-like branches.  I colored those in with a YG21 Copic marker.

Once all the stamping was done, I set up my Cricut to cut out the word "Hello."  I did a video tutorial on how to do that for a previous card . . . you can see that right here.

After my Cricut was done cutting, I ran the stamped panel through my die-cut machine with a stitched rectangle die.  (yeah. . . I just recently acquired two sets of stitched rectangle dies. . . and I love them. . . and I'll probably be using them in every project.)

From there is was just a matter of putting the card together.  I have a few tips for doing that in the video:

Now, I can't say that there won't be more cards using this set. . . but truthfully, I'm really looking forward to making more Valentine's Day cards. . . which I'm going to go do now.

Thanks for stopping by today!
