Textured Floral Card with Die-Cut Windows and Layered Elements

Cut a piece of white card stock slightly longer than square in size, and prepare two mat layers in pink and black.

Stamp textured background elements from the Beautiful Notes set onto the white card using a bright teal ink, creating a spotty textured border around the edges.

Change ink colour and stamp additional texture elements using orange ink to add variety and depth to the background.

Stamp the large floral design in the centre of the card in true black ink.

Stamp the circular hoop elements from the set in black ink, positioning them to frame or complement the main flower.

Dry the stamped ink thoroughly with a heat gun to prevent smudging.

Select nesting rectangle dies with stitch detail and position them over the floral design to create a ricochet effect, ensuring they are perfectly straight.

Run the card through your die-cutting machine with the dies in place, then carefully peel away the tape and remove the die-cut pieces.

Edge the die-cut apertures with teal ink to soften any harsh white lines.

Glue the white card layer onto the black mat layer, then mount both onto the pink card base.

Use foam pads to 3D mount the die-cut flower pieces back into the apertures at varying heights for dimension.

Colour the elevated die-cut elements using teal and orange inks to coordinate with the background, highlighting the front and back of each piece.
