Sending Love with Artesian Sketched Gardens Designer Series Paper

I’m excited to share today’s card projects with you. If you need a clean, simple, and elegant way to send a little sunshine to someone special, this layout is an absolute winner.

For these cards, I combined a soft inked background with crisp, custom-colored focal points. It creates the most gorgeous depth!

I started with a Basic White card base and layered a piece of Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock. To get that flawless circle in the background, I used a Stylish Shapes die to cut out a mask and laid it over the white cardstock and used a blending brush with Crisp Cantaloupe ink to build a soft, radiant glow of color.

The floral bases were snipped from the Artesian Garden Designer Series Paper and brought to live with a mix of Lost Lagoon, Pool Party and Crisp Cantaloupe Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers.

The beautiful scripty “sending love” sentiment featured on these cards comes from the Fabulous Sayings Stamp Set, a previous Product of the Month offering, and is no longer available to order. August Product of the Month is the beautiful Glow Harvest Specialty Designer Series Paper. Make sure to head over to my online store and grab it before it sells out. I added a swipe of Wink of Stella across the vases and the water for a subtle shimmer and some 2026-2028 In Color Dosts to finish my projects.

Want to recreate these exact cards in your own craft room? You can grab your supplies directly from my online store.

Please note that I stamped the sentiment using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, which is no longer offered by Stampin’ Up! Please use any other alcohol marker friendly black ink.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Which of the two vase styles is your favorite? Let me know in the comments below, and happy stamping!
