Gift Card Greetings Stamps and Gift Card Scallop Envelope Die
First, I used my envelope die from the Gift Card Greetings Stamps and Gift Card Scallop Envelope Die onto light kraft cardstock.
For the next part, I advise you to close it.
So I closed my envelope and put it in my stamping platform. I made sure to secure it with low tack tape so it wouldn't open or move during the process.
After that, I stamped the flowers from the Floral Sketch 5x7 Stamps set on it with brown ink. If you are using a platform, be sure to keep your flower stamps on it and your envelope in the same place because you want to stamp your flowers one last time after your stenciling to get a better finish.
After that, I used my coordinate Layering Stencils on it. First, I used Snowy White on all the parts I would color. The kraft cardstock I used was pretty light, so you can skip this step. However, adding a layer of white ink when you are stamping on colored cardstock is a great way to ensure that your colors will still pop without being too faded or lost in the darker colors.
Once my white layer was dry, I applied pink and green inks with my stencils.
The layers of white and pink ink muted the brown lines, so I stamped my flowers on top one last time for a crisper look.
I also stamped my sentiment.
I added a little depth to the borders of my envelope with a marker.
For the base of my card, I used a 3 3/8" x 4.5" (8.6 cm x 11.4 cm) die from the Pinpoint Rectangles Dies onto pink cardstock. Then, I stamped my Distress Background 5x7 Stamp on it with darker pink ink.
I matted and layered my base with a slightly bigger dark brown rectangle.
Finally, I glued my envelope on the base.
Et voilà!
May the craft be with you!
