Blooming Wildflowers

 Hello!  Tracy Shultz, the Hopeful Crafter, here with a bright and beautiful card today! I paired the gorgeous new stamp Blooming Wildflowers with a beautiful scripty sentiment from the previously released In Full Bloom Sentiments, Set of 6 available at: https://techniquejunkies.com/  Save 10% off your order with my coupon code: TJ10Tracy



To start, I heat embossed the beautiful Blooming Wildflowers background stamp with black embossing powder. I also heat embossed the "Life Life in full Bloom" sentiment with black embossing powder. I then used Catherine Pooler inks to ink blend the embossed panels. Technique Junkies has a large selection of Catherine Pooler inks: https://techniquejunkies.com/catherine-pooler-ink/?sort=featured&page=2  I used the following colors (from top to bottom): Chiffon, Catching Rays and Pucker Up.  You can also use: Limoncello, Tiki Torch and Rouge to get a similar effect (yellow, orange and pink inks). Next I used my favorite stitched rectangle dies to die cut the ink blended background and the ink blended sentiment. I adhered the background panel to a black A2 card base. I used a stitched rectangle die again to create a black mat and placed that behind the sentiment. I adhered the sentiment and the mat to the background and the card is ready to go out in the mail! In case you missed the new release (April 2022), here is a photo:
