To make this card, I stamped the WP9 dahlia stamp in the bottom right of a panel of Bristol Smooth cardstock, added a mask then turned it around and stamped again in the opposite corner. After removing the mask, I colored the images with Zig markers, using 3 different pink shades and 3 different green shades.
Once it was dry, I die-cut the panel with a stitched edge rectangle die and die-cut the congrats word from right through the center of the floral image. I set aside all the pieces and die-cut the word another 4 times from black cardstock, stacking each one on top of the other using spray adhesive. I then popped the stacked dies back into the gap left and then put back all the little center pieces of the letters.
Finally, I adhered the floral die-cut word to the top, colored it with clear sparkle pen, added some clear droplets and called it done! You can see the camouflaged die-cut word better in the next photo.
Thanks for visiting!
