Floral Essence Thank You

Hello, my stamping friend.
Today I want to share another card made with Floral Essence bundle. Flowers are made from vellum and are very easy to put together.

The design of the card is simple. But I use this layout a lot when need to mass produce:
Measurements: 
  • Petal Pink CS: 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"
  • Whisper White: 4 x 4 1/4, scrap for label and leaves
  • Velum: scarp for 2 flowers
  • DSP: 2 x 5 1/4
Tip: after stamping on velum - wait for it to dry before punching or heat-set it.
If you do not own this bundle yet - I strongly recommend.
Happy Stamping!
