Hello w/Stamp Simply Clear Stamps

Hello.  That's the greeting on the card I'm sharing today. I also wish you a warm Hello as you stop by my blog today.  Having you visit is always a treat that I very much appreciate.  It's always fun to share the cards I create for Stamp Simply because their stamps and dies are the sweetest.  I had a lot of fun creating this soft sweet card for my dear friend.

I used cream cardstock layered with a faint peachy pink cardstock that I stamped and embossed in white using the Vintage Seed Packet Background Stamp.  I absolutely LOVE this Background Stamp.  I used the coordinating Seed Packet Dies to cut out the middle of my card as well as to cut all the sweet little pieces of foliage you see on my card. I painted the foliage with acrylic paints and placed them about the opening to circle the open frame.  I used the Caring Coneflower Stamp Set to stamp the flower, and I embossed that in white as well.  I used the coordinating Caring Coneflower Die to cut the flower and leaves.  I situated that in the upper left corner of the opening and added more of the foliage from the Seed Packet Dies.  They make such a lovely framing of the open oval.

A few floral prills were placed at the tip of the coneflower.   There's a touch of creamy mint acrylic paint on the green parts of the flower.  My goal was to use minimal color (cream, light peachy pink and creamy mint) but to make an impact with them.  The only other color I incorporated was the sentiment (Hello) which is found in the Vintage Seed Packet Background Stamp Set and stamped in Hickory Smoke Ink.  I stamped it onto cream cardstock and cut it using the Fishtail Banner Dies.

Thanks again for visiting me here today.  You can always find lots of fabulous inspiration on the Stamp Simply Blog as well as on their IG Page.  Stamp Simply has so many amazing stamps, sentiments, scripture stamps, beautiful images, coordinating dies and much more.  We hope you'll stop by often.  Have a wonderful and creative week, everyone.
