Stamping Symphony Blog Hop--Thoughtful Blooms

I am so grateful to have a crafty escape these days!  For a little while I can put aside the constant stream of pandemic news and focus on something that makes me happy--I hope you are doing the same.

Our blog hop this month features free saleabration products.  The 2nd release of freebies launched at the start of March and there is so much good stuff to pick from, but I'm still creating with the fantastic Thoughtful Blooms stamp set and Small Bloom Punch--both of which are FREE with qualifying orders.  I love that the punch and stamps coordinate.

I felt the need to celebrate what I hope will be an early Spring with a very flowery and soft card.


For my card I decided to focus on an ombre look, using Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, and Purple Posy cardstock layered behind a white panel on which I used the Stitched Lace Die.


I stamped the sentiment from the Morning Star stamp set in white embossing powder on a piece of Gorgeous Grape and then die cut it with one of the Stitched Labels dies.


I tied some Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding ribbon through both ends of the die cut and wrapped around the back of my ombre panel before adhering the entire piece to a Thick Whisper White card base.


I stamped and punched multiple flowers in Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather, and then stamped off once in Highland Heather to create a slightly lighter colour for the third part of the ombre.  Moving from left to right I randomly adhered the flowers, getting lighter across the card for a further ombre look.


I added some smaller plain white flowers in a few gaps and accented those with basic rhinestones for a little sparkle and shine.


Inside I again stamped multiples of the flower images in all three shades of purple, and left lots of room for a handwritten message to the recipient.


Salebration ends on March 31, don't miss your chance to earn some great freebies while supplies last!
