Wisteria Sending Hugs card

This card starts with a Thick Basic White card base.

The next panel is Highland Heather cardstock.

The top panel is Basic White cardstock. The branch stamp from the Wisteria Wishes stamp set along with Granny Apple Green ink were stamped two times along the top of the front panel.

Early Espresso Stampin' Write Marker, Light Soft Suede and Light Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends were added to the branch for more definition. The leaves on the branch were emphasized a little more using a Light Old Olive Stampin' Blends.

 Using Highland Heather ink that had been stamped off one time before stamping onto the card front panel, six Wisteria flower pods were stamped onto the card front panel.  The Wisteria Wishes stamp set has an accent stamp as part of the set, this stamp was used to stamp the flowers again only this time in Gorgeous Grape ink that has been stamped off once.

Once all of the card front panel stamping was done, the card front panel was embossed with the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder.

Next, the branch and leaf die, which is part of the Wisteria Dies set, was used to cut out two Basic White cardstock branches.  The branch was colored using Early Espresso Stampin' Write Marker, Light Soft Suede and Light Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends and a little bit of Light Old Olive Stampin' Blends.

The leaves were colored first down the center of the leaf using Light Old Olive Stampin' Blends.  Next, the base of the leaves were colored with Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends.  Finally, Light Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blend was used to blend all of the colors on the leaves together.  I am really pleased with how the branches and leaves came out.

When adhered to the card front panel, the branch and leaf die cut were situated on the card front to make it look like the branch was intertwined with the branch that had been stamped directly onto the card front.

On a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock, the Wisteria Flowers were stamped again in full-strength Highland Heather ink for a total of six flowers.  Again the accent stamp was used to stamp onto the Highland Heather flower using Gorgeous Grape ink. These flowers were then cut out using the coordinating Wisteria die.  Once cut out a some of the flowers were adhered onto the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Seal.  The rest of the flowers were adhered to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals to give the card a little bit more dimension.

The sentiment is from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set, which will be available for purchase on July 1, 2022 in the July - December 2022 Mini Catalog, and has been stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink.
