Today’s tutorial is for a hand-penned blends flower card. This card steps up the Hand-penned Freesia card I shared here.

In the tutorial below, I take you step by step through creating the hand-penned blends flower card. I also have a supply list for purchasing anything you don’t already own.

To step up the card we’ve added a die cut panel instead of plain cut, die cut out our flowers and coloured them with Blends and added a few Genial Gems.

Colour Combo

The colour combo mixes Pale Papaya, Basic White and Soft Succulent.

My Facebook readers recently voted for their favourite new In Color. It was a tie between Fresh Freesia and Pale Papaya. As I’ve already created a Fresh Freesia card, this time I used Pale Papaya.

Hand-penned blends flower card

Start with an A6 portrait card of Pale Papaya. Using Pale Papaya ink, stamp around the edges of a Basic White Card front layer with the large flower spray from the Hand-Penned Petals set. Die cut a large stitched scalloped rectangle from Pale Papaya card using the Scalloped Contours dies. Pop this up on the card front with dimensionals.  On a large scrap of Basic White, stamp the other large flower from the same set with the Gray Granite ink (this gives a softer look, in keeping with the pastels, than using black ink). Colour in with Blends and die cut out with the co-ordinating Penned Flowers dies. Tie on a bow of the Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon. Pop up on the card front with dimensionals. Finish with some Genial Gems.

Here’s a “quick tip video” showing how to stamp the background. Please subscribe to my Youtube channel to make sure you see all future quick tips.

On the inside of the card, stamp a sentiment and the same flower used on the front from the Hand-penned Petals set using Pale Papaya ink.
