Morning all!
I’m back on the Seven Hills Crafts blog today with a fun floral background card.
The Bigger Blooms stamp set is currently heavily discounted in the Bargain Basement, and although the dies are now sold out, the stamps are great for creating bold backgrounds.
Stamps: The Greetery – Bigger Blooms (r), The Greetery – Everyday Labels
Die: The Greetery – Handmade Labels
The set features layering stamps for some of the florals and leaves, but you can also omit these steps and just use the base stamps for a different look.
I selected a colour palette inspired by the colour combos showcased on the Concord & 9th website here. It’s a useful resource when you want to try something new.
I used six shades of ink and used the same ink shade for both layering steps.
Once my background was complete, I just needed to find the right sentiment.
I grabbed the Everyday Labels sentiments and the coordinating Handmade Labels dies.
The Thank You sentiment in this set includes space to add one of the decorative elements – I chose this floral element stamped in the same colours as the background to complete the look.
Until next time, happy crafting!
