The 2016 Occasions catalog is chock full of lovely new stamp sets. Birthday Blooms is one of them. Here I’ve used it with the Have A Cuppa Designer Series Paper Stack to create a note card with vertical lines, horizontal lines, and a floral center.
The card base is Whisper White Thick card stock. The first layer is a piece of Have A Cuppa DSP. Then three pieces of Calypso Coral seam Binding Ribbon notched at the ends with Craft Scissors, and the front layer of Shimmery White card stock with the stamped image.
I stamped the image in Basic Black Archival Ink, then used an Aqua painter to watercolor the image in Calypso Coral, Old Olive, and Crushed Curry.
I’ve made this as a blank note card. I thought about putting a sentiment on the front of the card, but I like the symmetry of the design as it is. You can stamp any sentiment inside, or add a handwritten note.
You can see what I used for today’s card at the bottom of this post.

GORGEOUS watercoloring and wonderful use of color. I love the simplicity of this layout and how you used this DSP. Lovely card, Candy. It really pops.
