Everything's Rosy & Potted Rose Floral Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some floral rose-themed cards using our Everything's Rosy Stamps and Potted Rose Stamps.

For my first card, I paired the layered stamp images from our Everything's Rosy Stamps with the smaller blossom and leaf from the Potted Rose Stamps to adorn the bottom-left and top-right corners. For my card background, I turned to our Blooming Frame Dies. I used the die without a shim, which helped keep the pieces in place. I also quickly adhered them all to a piece of printer paper with liquid adhesive to help keep the pieces intact. After I had done this, I inked up my background using the same dye inks I had used to ink my leaves, fading it towards the center. Finally, I die-cut the "Happy Birthday" phrase from white cardstock using the same die set to place in the center.

For my next card, I used the same small blossom and leaf from the Potted Rose Stamps to completely cover a 1.5" strip of green cardstock. The green base meant that even if small sections peeked through, it would blend in with the leaves and contrast nicely with the white cardstock from my overlapping card panels. I then die-cut a stitched edge to frame each side of my strip (to give the appearance that it's cut away to reveal the bottom floral layer) using our Ribbon & Lace Border Dies. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment "You Are So Lovely" from our Lovey Dovey Stamps using VersaFine Onyx Black Ink, which I also heat embossed with clear embossing powder to give it a bit of shine and make it stand out crisply. I really love how this clean and simple design turned out!

I am frequently asked which ink colors I used for my layered images. Some of these images were previously stamped using now-retired Colorbox inks; however, I spent considerable time trying to find the closest matches to share them here with you (from lightest to darkest).
