The Welcoming Window has such lovely window and shutters images and dies along with the flowers that the brick image often goes unnoticed. I’ve seen a few cards using the brick image to suggest a wall behind the focal point of the window and flowers.
One of the sentiment stamps says, “Wishing our paths crossed a little more often.” I think this is such a warm saying for a friend who you may not see very often! I have many friends who fit that category, whether through moving away or just the busyness of life placing a constraint on time and schedules.
With that in mind, I looked at the brick image stamp and thought it could be made to resemble a “path,” which I stamped using Smoky Slate ink. I added a few of the flower images without putting them in a flower pot to make it look like flowers growing along the path. For the flowers, I used some of the new In-Colors – Soft Succulent, Polished Pink, Fresh Freesia, and Pale Papaya, then cropped them with the corresponding dies. I stamped the sentiment above the design using Evening Evergreen.
The card base was made with Soft Succulent cardstock. I added a layer of Mint Macaron cardstock on that before adding the Basic White designed piece.
For the inside, I just stamped one of the flower images in the lower-left corner of a piece of Basic White cardstock and left the rest blank to write my own message. I repeated this on the lower-left corner of the envelope.
This card has simple stamping, but with the colorful flowers, it still looks quite lovely. I know the person I send it to will appreciate receiving it!
The products I used for the card are listed below, but you could use any colors of cardstock or ink that you like. I chose the new In-Colors for the flowers, of course!
