Hexagon Flower Blooms

Today I am showcasing the two new floral stamp sets called Bold Blooms and Build A Bloom. They coordinate so perfectly together to form floral wreaths. I’ve tried a circular and oval wreaths, but this time I used the new Scallop Hexagon Dies as my shape.

I die-cut the Scallop Hexagon Die from the top center of a white card front. I used a transparency on the inside of the hexagon shape so you can see the sentiment on the inside of the card. I stamped all of the flowers and leaves with colored inks. For the stamps that have base stamps, I used two-step stamping. Whenever I use this technique, I stamp the outline stamp with the ink first and then I stamp the inside piece with the same ink color, but stamp it on scrap paper first (called second generation stamping). That way it is lighter than the outline, but still matches perfectly.

Next, I arranged all of the flowers and leaves around the hexagon shape leaving the scallops visible around the edge. I overlapped them and tucked leaves under some of the flowers. I also added some 4mm Aquamarine, Lemon Meringue, Pink Peonies and the Fresh Garden sequins around the wreath to fill in any open spaces. I stamped the sentiment on the inside of the card using the new Thoughtful Greetings Stamp Set. The sentiment fit perfectly inside the window. I used some teal twine on the bottom of the card to give it more dimension.

I hope you enjoyed this card today and find many wreath shapes to make with your flower stamp sets. Have a great day and thanks for visiting the Pretty Pink Posh blog today!
