Hi there! Laurel Beard back with you today showing you how you can create a simple card set you can gift to a friend or family member! Using the Concord & 9th Brushed Blossom set and a few dye ink pads is all you’ll need to create a multi-themed card set. And honestly, this entire set took me 15 minutes to make! SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Concord & 9th layering Brushed Blossoms stamp set is very easy to use! How do I know? Because if I used it, anyone can! LOL! I referred to the layering guide photo Concord & 9th has (attached at the end of this post) and was able to create the cards in no time at all.

Here is a look at the various sentiments that is included in the set I used to create the card set.

And here is a close up of the stamping. The only additional thing I did here besides the stamping was I heat embossed the center of the flower to give it some extra shine. This is totally an option. It would be beautiful without this step also. As a finishing touch, I flicked on some Hickory Smoke distress Ink and blended the edges of the card stock with Tea Dye distress ink to give it a more aged look. Sequins would also look beautiful here, but alas, I stink with sequins placement, lol!!!! Which is why you always tend to see ink splatters on my cards. I love the random appearance it leaves behind.
