For today’s blog hop, I created a simple “Hello Friend” card featuring a beautiful floral stamped background.

I love using small stamps to create a subtle backdrop that lets bold, large sentiments become the focal point. For today’s card, I stamped a small flower from the Mini Delight: Fabulous Flowers Stamp & Die Set using Cloudy Sky, Navy, Mossy Meadow, and Green Opal Fresh Dye Inks.

To complete the card, I added tiny dots using a white acrylic marker from Acrylic Marker 24 Color Set - Vol. 2, which reacted with the navy ink underneath, creating a soft, light purple tint that added a subtle, magical touch. For the final detail, I added a sentiment from the Flowering Hedge Bundle, paired with the Ivory Black (Mirror) Hot Foil Roll.

That’s it for me, your next stop is Emily Midgett.
You can find the full line up below.
Thank you for stopping by today and enjoy the rest of the hop!
