Floral Card for a Happy Couple by Ellen Haxelmans

For the Happy Couple!

Today we are sharing a beautiful wedding card by Ellen! This card wold be perfect for sending to a happy couple or a wedding or an anniversary! 

To create this card, Ellen combined several stamp sets. The gorgeous bloom on the bottom of the card is from our Peony Blooms Stamp Set. She colored the blooms, leaves and bud images and cut them out using the coordinating Peony Blooms Die Set. For the floral background, she used the big image of flowers from our Blooming Botanicals Stamp Set. 

The custom sentiment was created by combining stamped words from our Wedding Frills Stamp Set with the die cut "happy" from our Walking Woofs Die Set! What a clever way to combine elements together. This card also uses our Frames & Flags Die Set for the stitched rectangle and scalloped panels.

Tips on creating this card

Below we have some tips from Ellen on how to create a card like this:

1. (left photo) I stamped the Blooming Botanicals Stamp Set on a rectangle cut out using the Frames & Flags Die Set with embossing ink. Afterwards I embossed it with Clear Matt Dull Wow Embossing Powder. 
2. (center photo) Later I stamped and cut one of the sentiments from the Wedding Frills Stamp Set apart. I used gold embossing powder the words. I also did cut out the happy word with the word die from the Walking Woofs Die Set.
3. (right photo) The flowers from the Peony Blooms Stamp Set are colored with Zig Markers (No. 230 Pale Rose, No. 021 Light Carmine, No. 220 Tea Rose, No. 070 Orange, No. 050 Yellow, No. 044 Deep Green, No. 041 Light Green, No. 045 Pale Green).

We hope you enjoyed this amazing card today and are inspired to mix and match the stamps and dies you have to create unique and custom cards!
