Fragrant Flowers – Hello Friend #2

This super simple card is easy to make and comes together quickly. Between the embossed black background, the stickers and the gel pen dots there’s lots of texture too. It’s difficult to see in the images, but the black panel is embossed with the new Metal Plate 3D embossing folder.

A Closer Look

For the inside, I stamped and colored flower to coordinate with the card front.

Elegance Made Easy

Following are the quick steps to recreate this card.

First, make your cuts:

Basic Black card stock – 4″ x 5 1/4″ emboss with desired folder. I used Metal Plate 3D embossing folder.
Basic White card stock – 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″
Die cuts:
- None

Add the Basic Black embossed panel to an A2 card base made with Thick Basic White card stock. Note: An A2 card base is made by scoring a 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ piece of card stock scored and folded at 4 1/4″.

Stamp the Flower and Sentiment onto the Basic White folder using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, leaving space between the two for line stickers.

Color the flower using Petal Pink and Old Olive Stamping Blends.

Place 3 line stickers (available on Amazon) between the flower and the sentiment and to the side of the stickers. If you don’t have stickers you can use very thin strips of Petal Pink card stock brushed with clear Wink of Stella.

Use a Black Marker or gel pen to create a dotted background.

Add the stamped panel to the card front.

Add Petal Pink gems from the 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds.

To complete the project, stamp and color flower on the envelope front and flap to match the flower on the card front.
