What’s Special About This Design?

  • A Tone-on-Tone Background: Using both sides of a reversible stamp, I’ve created subtle texture that adds depth without overwhelming the design.
  • A DIY Painter’s Tape Background: Yes, painter’s tape! This easy household hack adds a fun, multi-colored look to your card, making it stand out from the crowd.
  • A Pop of Bold Contrast: The focal flower stamped in crisp black ink anchors the design, while the delicate Daffodil Delight bow adds a touch of softness and charm.
  • White Embossed Sentiment: A bold, white-on-black sentiment creates the perfect finishing touch, ensuring your message is clear and striking.

Recreate This Card Yourself!

This project is perfect for crafters of all levels. Whether you’re just getting started or have years of experience, you’ll find something new to try and love in this design. Plus, it’s an excellent way to stretch your supplies and get creative!
