Happy Cinco de Mayo! Today’s card is not a Cinco de Mayo card, but it was inspired by the colors in the graphic below: Poppy Parade, Call Me Clover, and Crushed Curry. I used the Bloom & Grow stamp set for the floral image and the sentiment, then watercolored using Stampin’ Ink Refills and an Aqua Painter. I also used a couple of Circle Punches and the Layering Circles Dies. If you prefer, you can use the dies for the three cut circles.

Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
- Call Me Clover card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
- Crushed Curry CS layer cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″
- Watercolor Paper cut to 5″ x 2-1/2″
- Whisper White CS cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″ for the inside of the card base
Stamped with the Bloom & Grow stamp set:
- floral image in Jet Black Stazon ink onto the Watercolor Paper layer
- sentiment in Jet Black Stazon ink onto a scrap of Watercolor Paper layer
Cut using the 2″ Circle Punch:
- sentiment
Cut using the 2-1/4″ Circle Punch:
- a scrap of Poppy Parade CS
Cut using the Layering Circles Dies:
- a scrap of Call Me Clover CS a little bigger than the Poppy Parade punched circle
Embossed using the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder:
- the Crushed Curry CS layer
Colored using an Aqua Painter & Stampin’ Ink Refills:
- flowers in Poppy Parade and Crushed Curry
- leaves in Call Me Clover and Crushed Curry
- sentiment background in Crushed Curry
- NOTE: I used a large acrylic block as a paint palette. I didn’t put water in the Aqua Painter. Instead I used a bowl of water and a paper towel to more precisely control the amount of water.
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
- embossed Crushed Curry CS layer glued onto the front of the card base
- Watercolor Paper layer glued onto the Crushed Curry CS
- 2 pieces of ribbon adhered onto the Crushed Curry CS layer using Tear & Tape
- sentiment glued onto the Poppy Parade CS circle
- Poppy Parade CS circle glued onto the Call Me Clover CS circle
- Call Me Clover CS circle glued over ribbon and layers
- Whisper White CS glued onto the inside of the card base
