Just Because by Theary Chea

Hello! It's Theary here back on the blog again today. I am sharing a card I created using the mini Gracious Floral Release.

I began by stamping the large floral image from Gracious Floral CL5280 onto a white A2 cardstock. I stamped it once on the upper left-hand side, then rotated the paper to stamp it on the opposite side of the cardstock.

I used coordinating stencils Gracious Floral 88620, distress oxide inks, and blending brushes to ink each stencil layer on the card panel. Once the floral stamped image was inked nicely, I placed the positive piece of the floral stencil over the colored image to mask off that area. Then, going in with a blending brush and a dark shade of ink, I blended the background scene.

I created a border using Rectangle Double Border MBF006 with rose gold glimmer foil sheets. I like how the details added interest to the card design.

I stamped out a sentiment from Gracious Floral and cut that out using the coordinating dies. I adhered everything to a top folding card base and added white details using a white gel pen.
