Pinkspiration

Hello crafty fans!  Today I am on the Joy Clair Designs blog and it's all about pink!  I love the color pink (and purple too!) and today I'm sharing this pinkspiring card using the beautiful Truly Inspire digital stamp set from the Springish Fiesta collection.  Joy Clair Designs has some beautiful digital floral stamps and after almost 22 years of cardmaking, floral images still remain my favorite designs.

Card details: 

​The base of this A2 sized card is made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock.  I used a piece of pink pre-printed watercolor paper for the first 5 1/4" x 4" layered mat.  Using a background plate die, I cut the frame from Neenah white cardstock.  I printed the flowers from the Truly Inspire digital stamp set in two sizes.  I printed one large flower at 3 1/2" x 3" and the other three flowers at 2 1/2" x 2".  I colored the images with Copic markers and then fussy cut the flowers by hand to adhere to the card.

​After fussy cutting the flowers I adhered them to the left side of the card.  I adhered the large flowers directly to the mat and then I used 3M foam adhesive to adhere the three small flowers and give them added dimension.  I printed the sentiment "you are an inspiration" from the same Truly Inspire digital stamp set.  I printed this sentiment also on Neenah white cardstock.  I trimmed the sentiment down to a thin strip and notched the left edge.  I adhered the sentiment to the card using 3M foam adhesive.  I added a coat of Clear Wink of Stella to all the flowers for added sparkle.  Lastly, I added a couple clear self-adhesive raindrops to the flowers to make it look like dew.

I hope you have enjoyed this very pink card design. Thanks for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!  For more inspiration, you can follow me on my website, Instagram, Facebook and on my YouTube channel.
