Beauiful Bluebells Floral Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some floral cards showcasing our Beautiful Bluebells Stamps.

For my first card showcasing the Beautiful Bluebells Stamps, I cut an oval window in my white cardstock panel using the Stitched Oval 2 Dies and then layered it with the scalloped oval frame from our Fancy Frames Oval Dies. I then arranged the bluebell flowers around the window's opening and backed it with a green polka-dot print that I had stamped using our Background Basics 2 Stamps. For my greeting, I stamped the sentiment from our Lovey Dovey Stamps using the same Altenew Hydrangea Ink I had used for one of the flower layers. The coordinating dies to this set cut the letter "I" in the phrase as a separate piece, but in this situation, I felt the greeting fit the space I had better without it, so I left it off. Lastly, I embellished my card with two fairies from our Garden Fairy Stamps, coloring them to match my green and purple color palette.

Next up is a monochromatic blue and white card featuring the Beautiful Bluebells Stamps. I was doing my best to harness the English feel of Laura Ashley, and I'm so happy with the way this turned out! I created a bouquet of the flowers using the Watering Can Stamps, tying a jute bow to position near the handle and adding one of the butterflies from that set. For my background, I stamped a blue diagonal mesh print onto white cardstock using our Background Basics 2 Stamps and then used that same VersaFine Arctic Ink to blend in the background for a tone-on-tone look. I layered a stitched scalloped rectangle cut using our Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies to frame my floral arrangement and then added some extra loose flowers to the bottom two corners. To complete my card, I heat-embossed the "thinking of you" greeting from the Watering Can Stamps onto the Brilliant Banner 2 Dies, which had been cut from a green polka-dot print from our Spring Fever Paper pack.

I am frequently asked which ink colors I used for my layered images.  While I think there are so many great options out there, these are the colors I used today for my stamped images from light to dark:

Royal Blue Bluebells
Hero Arts Dusty Blue
Hero Arts Cornflower
Gina K. Powder Blue
Hero Arts Indigo

Blue Violet Bluebells
Altenew Wisteria
Hero Arts Passion Flower
Altenew Hydrangea
Altenew Ultraviolet

Stems & Leaves
Pinkfresh Studio Key Lime
Pinkfresh Studio Olive

That wraps up my projects for this morning. I hope I've inspired you in your own cardmaking and that you spread a little happiness by sending out a card to a loved one today. 😊
