Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Fold the Pretty ink Pink cardstock at the score line to create your card base.
- Adhere one of the 4″ x 5-1/4″ pieces of Basic White cardstock inside your card.
- Using the other piece of 4″ x 5-1/4″ Basic White cardstock, ink up the largest bold Hibiscus flower using Flirty Flamingo ink. Stamp off once on your scratch paper and then stamp onto the Basic White cardstock. Ink up the smaller bold Hibiscus flower using Flirty Flamingo ink; stamp off once on your scratch paper and then stamp onto the Basic White cardstock. Repeat until the entire Basic White cardstock is filled, using each of the stamps alternatively.
- Using out two outline stamps that coordinate with Bold floral stamps using in the previous step, stamp the outline stamps over the bold image stamps using Lemon Lolly ink. Repeat until all the flowers have been stamped, reinking your stamps with Lemon Lolly ink each time.
- Using the cross-hatch stamp, ink with Flirty Flamingo ink and fill any white space as needed, re-inking your stamp each time. Adhere the Basic White cardstock to the Pretty in Pink card base using adhesive.
- Tie a large bow using at least 20″ of the Iridescent Striped Twin and adhere to center of the card (see sample for placement) using adhesive in the center.
- Using the 1″ strip of Basic White cardstock, stamp the sentiment in the center of the cardstock using Flirty Flamingo ink. Run through the Cut & Emboss Machine and die-cut using the rectangle sentiment die from the Happy Hibiscus Bundle Dies.
- Adhere the sentiment tag over the bow using Stampin’ Dimensionals to finish.
A Tip from Barb
This is actually a very simple card to create, but I chose to designate it as a Worker Bee card because of the label created by the Happy Hibiscus Dies.
If you don’t have the Dies, simple cut your Basic White Sentiment strip to 3/4″ x 2-3/4″ and you’ll be good to go! Easy Peasy!
