Small But Mighty: Creating Pretty Backgrounds with Petite Stamps

Hi, it’s Ruby here today with a floral card made with a simple stamp from a tea time stamp set from Altenew. Sometimes I will have a rummage through my stamps to see what little stamps I can find. Stamp companies often add some sweet little extras and they can be great for card backgrounds.

Here’s the card info. The card base is 5” x 7”

Cut a rectangular panel in teal cardstock and attach it to the card base.
Die cut a stitched rectangular panel in watercolour cardstock.
Stamp and watercolour the flowers randomly across the top of the stitched panel. I used the flowers from Altenew’s Tea Time Stamp Set.
Using a graphite pencil, add some shading around the floral clusters.
Die-cut the sentiment, ‘Here for You’ in teal cardstock. I used Altenew’s Essential Sentiment Strips Die Set.
Attach the die-cut sentiment to a piece of white cardstock and fussy cut around the edge to create the label.
Hand-cut an additional two pieces of cardstock to attach behind the sentiment, creating a 3D label.
Tie some baker’s twine around the bottom of the panel.
Attach the stamped panel to the teal cardstock background.
Add some little crystals in between the flowers to finish.
