Beautiful Hand-Penned Petals in Ombré
I have a sweet and simple card to share with you today featuring the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set from Stampin’ Up!® and the Brilliant Wings Dies.
The delicate lined floral images in this stamp set work so nicely with the butterfly die-cuts. I’ve combined the two a few times now and they always look great!
The card base is Thick Basic White with a double mat layer of Basic White cardstock. This is an easy way to create a soft and subtle frame around your card base without drawing the eye away from your focal point.
I used my Blending Brushes to add some colour to the card. Daffodil Delight at the top, then Granny Apple Green, and finally Bermuda Bay. This gives a wonderful ombré gradient effect. To build on that, I also inked the stamps to coordinate with the gradient.
The sentiment is stamped on a strip of Coastal Cabana cardstock. I flagged the end with my very loved Banners Pick-a-Punch (seriously my favourite punch right now!).
The Playing with Patterns Resin Dots are just the right finishing touch, don’t you agree!? I’ve had them for a while, yet haven’t had a chance to use them! I love that these dots are flat and matte. There are a lot of times when I’m looking to add interest to the card, but I don’t necessarily want “bling”. These dots are just right. Now, if they could be available in more colours, please!
I hope you’re having a great weekend. Get lots of crafting time in whenever you can and make something beautiful!

Amy, the way you inked the flower stamp in the colors you used for blending – brilliant! I love your card, from the blending, the inking, to the card panel with the circle cut out! Nicely done!
