I have seen a few cards with this design because it is quick, simple, and so elegant! I used the absolutely stunning Inked Floret stamp set as the perfect background…

Inked Floret Stamp Set (168239) - $42.00

Did you know the Inked Floret stamp set design began as a lino print? Amelia, illustrator for Stampin' Up!, was inspired by linocut printmaking and hand-carved the image from rubber, transferred it with ink, then digitally added finer details, resulting in this beautiful stamped floral. You can see some of the design process HERE.

So, how did I use the Inked Floret to create this card?

1. Cut Basic Gray Two-Tone cardstock at 8.8 cm x 13 cm (3-1/2" x 5") and stamp the Inked Floret bloom in Basic Gray ink on the dark side of the cardstock.
2. Tear the bottom edge of the Basic Gray Two-Tone cardstock so the length measures approximately 11 cm (4-1/4").
3. Cut Barely Blush Two-Tone cardstock at 8.8 cm x 4 cm (3-1/2" x 1-1/2"). Tear the bottom edge of the dark side of the cardstock.
4. Layer the Barely Blush cardstock so it peeks out from underneath the Basic Gray cardstock, and adhere both to the front of a Basic White Note Card.
5. Cut Barely Blush Two-Tone cardstock at 8.8 cm x 1.3 cm (3-1/2" x 1/2") and stamp the words from the Scalloped Blooms stamp set in Basic Gray ink on the dark side of the cardstock.
6. Adhere the words to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

And that's it – quick, simple, and oh-so-elegant, just like I promised! If a card this pretty in just a few easy steps has you wanting to try it for yourself, the Inked Floret stamp is the place to start.
