extraordinary flora elements of text card

The Extraordinary Floral Washi tape makes a such a pretty card! The background for this card features the Elements of Text stamp set. This stamp set is one of my favorites that has just been listed on the Last Chance List! It’s on sale until it is sold out! It makes great backgrounds!

BASE: Berry Burst CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″, scrap for the Spotlight on
Nature die
Basic White CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, 4″ x 5 1/4″
scrap for the Spotlight on Nature die.

Stamp the Basic White layer with the Elements of Text stamp set with the Berry Burst ink all over the layer. Add the splatter image around the edges in Berry Burst ink. Then add some blending around the edges of the layer with the blending brush and the Berry Burst ink.

Emboss the Basic White layer in the Eyelet 3D embossing folder.

Adhere the layer to the Berry Burst card front.

Stamp the sentiment from The Right Words in Berry Burst ink in the center of the Basic White die from the Spotlight on Nature die set.
Stamp the splatter image around the edges.
Adhere the die to the Berry Burst Spotlight on Nature die.
Adhere the sentiment dies on Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhere to the center of the card front.

I took the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape and unrolled it from the roll and adhered it to a half sheet of Unscored Basic White cardstock (5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″). Ensure that the washi tape is smooth without wrinkles or air pockets I secure the tape starting at one edge and lying the tape down slowly rubbing as I go with my hands or a bone folder to ensure a smooth surface.
Die cut with the Extraordinary Flora die – designed to cut in one pass loads of flowers from the washi tape or the coordinating stamp.
Mounting the tape on cardstock allows the die cuts to have a more rigid background allowing for easier attachment to the card.
Arrange the die cut floral and greenery around the sentiment dies to your liking and then secure with glue, tape and Stampin’ Dimensionals for some depth and dimension.

I added Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to the card in the Berry Burst hue to coordinate with the card and finish it off with a lot of sparkle!

I love creating backgrounds and this Last Chance stamp set called Elements of Text is a great way to achieve a cohesive background look that is both eye-catching and elegant.

Text stamps can create a subtle yet intricate background that can accent the base of your card without overpowering your main focal image!

If you like this look shop before this set is all gone! Now go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!
