Fab Flowers Card



Hey y'all! Thanks so much for stopping in for a visit today! I'm so thankful you are here! Today I have a new card to share featuring the Fab Flowers stamps and dies from Lawn Fawn. I am such a huge fan of all things Lawn Fawn. Everything that they have is so completely adorable! These floral stamps are no exception. Gorgeous!

To get my card started I cut a panel of black cardstock to 4 1/4" by 5 1/2". I adhered it to a side folding A2 card base. Next, I used the Bold Stripes Cover-Up die from My Favorite Things and cut it out using white cardstock. I layered it in the middle of my black cardstock panel. I love the classic look of black and white together!

After the base panel was completed, I stamped the solid (bottom) layer of the flowers on some white cardstock. I used several different ink colors for this: Frosty Pink (from Altenew), Salty Ocean, Shaded Lilac, Worn Lipstick, Scattered Straw, and Dried Marigold Distress Inks. I used my Misti Tool to stamp the images so that I could double stamp them if I needed too. After the bottom layers were all stamped, I put the top detail layers into my Misti and stamped those on top of their coordinating flower. These images are very easy to line up and when working with the Misti, you can do many images at once. For the top layers I used several more different ink colors: Ruby Red (from Altenew), Blueprint Sketch, Wilted Violet, Candied Apple, Wild Honey, and Carved Pumpkin Distress Inks. I also double stamped these when I needed too. For the leaves, I only stamped the most solid bottom layer using Parrot ink from Altenew. I stamped three of these for the card I made today. 

When all the images had been stamped, I used the coordinating Fab Flowers dies to cut them out. Using the dies make cutting a breeze! 

After all my flowers and leaves had been die cut, I just arranged them on my card front layering them together until I got a nice grouping. Those flowers really pop on that classic looking background panel. 


I just love the little butterfly that's included in the stamp set and felt like it would be the perfect finishing touch for my card. I stamped it using  Shaded Lilac and Wilted Violet Distress Inks. For the body, I used the Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink. That is my favorite black dye ink to use. It is very bold and crisp. After the butterfly had been stamped, I cut it out using the coordinating die and I layered it on top of my floral cluster. And with that, my card was complete. 


This card would be great for many occasions-Mother's Day, thank you, birthday, get well,or just an I'm thinking of you card. 

I really appreciate your visit today! I hope that you found some inspiration while you were here. I hope that the rest of your week is filled with all things wonderful! See y'all again soon! God bless!
