Step-by-step Instructions

  1. Begin by cutting a piece of white cardstock to your desired card size. I typically like to make my cards 4.25″ x 5.5″.
  2. Next, stamp two flower images from the “Marigolds” stamp set onto the white cardstock using black ink. Be sure to leave enough space around the flowers to allow for ink blending.
  3. Once your images are stamped, choose your favourite shades of Hero Arts Reactive Inks to colour your flowers and leaves. I chose various shades of yellow, orange, and green to give the flowers a realistic look.
  4. Using your ink blending tool, apply the teal shade to the background of your card. Be sure to blend the ink smoothly to create a seamless background.
  5. After the ink is completely dry, use scissors or a paper trimmer to trim the excess paper off the edges of your card.
  6. Lastly, adhere your card front to a blank card base using adhesive. And voila! Your beautiful floral card is ready to be shared with your loved ones.
