Elegant Petal Palette Card



Sharing a little later than planned; the last project for our Mother's Day/ any occasion cards, and this has to be my favourite one. 

This project was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest by Shannon Key (Photo on left). I just loved the layout and had to recreate it using the beautiful Petal Passion Suite.
Todays card is simple yet elegant featuring the Petal Palette stamp set (145788). It uses designer series paper, stamping, colouring and embellishments. With such a lovely card I just had to add a little touch to the envelope.
A perfect card for Mother's Day, Birthdays or Anniversary's. 

Here is what you will need:
Thick Whisper White Cardstock (140490) - C6 Cardbase
Whisper White Card Stock (106549) - 4" x 4 5/8" (See below for cutting instructions)
Petal Passion Designer Series Paper (145589) - 4" x 3 1/4"
Whisper White Organza Ribbon (145590)
Glitter and Clear Epoxy Shapes (145632) 

Stampin' Write Markers: Old Olive and Berry Burst.
Inks: Memento Black and Berry Burst.

Cutting Instructions:
The Whisper White piece is cut to point. To do this I used a pencil to mark a dot 3" from the top on one side and 3 5/8" from the top on the other side. On the bottom mark at 2 3/8" from the left. Line each side mark with the bottom one and cut to get the angle and point. 

(See photo on left for help).

Hope you enjoyed this video! :D

Petal Palette Note Cards


Over the next couple of weeks I will be bringing you a selection of projects, suitable for Mother's Day, but ones that can easily be altered to fit any occasion by changing up the sentiment! 

Our first project features the lovely Petal Palette Stamp Set (145788) to make a colourful note card, or change up the sentiment to fit any occasion, even Mother's Day!  
I am really liking cards with lots of white space at the moment. It keeps the design clean and crisp with out over doing it. Plus it also draws better attention to your chosen focal point! The Hardwood Background Stamp (133035) on this card adds a light detail to the background, framing our floral centre. Of course I had to add a few Epoxy shapes and Wink of Stella to the flowers to add just enough sparkle to make it something special for Mother's Day :D
This design would also make a lovely set of note cards to gift, or to keep for yourself. So, lets get creating...

Here is what you will need:
Thick Whisper White Cardstock (140490) - C6 Cardbase
Whisper White Card Stock (106549) - 4 1/2" x 3 5/8"
Crumb Cake Card Stock (121685) - 5 3/8" x 3 5/8"
Calypso Coral Card Stock (124392)
Depending on size boarder you would like. Eyeballed for thin boarder.
Glitter & Clear Epoxy Shapes (145632) 
Wink of Stella (141897)

Inks: Old Olive, Calypso Coral and Crumb Cake.


Hope you enjoyed this video and got inspired.
