Delightful wishes best wishes card

 Did you know that you can create custom backgrounds for your cards with just stamps and inks? Well today's inspiration is a simple card made special by its custom background.  The background is created using  forsythia images created with the Delightful Wishes  stamp set. This beautiful photopolymer stamps set features 4 seperate stamps that line up to create the gorgeous forsythia image. This allows you to use any colour combinations you desire to create unique images.

At first glance you might be a little confused by what goes where but I have a short video to share with you at the end of this post that shows how I put them together. The stamps used are the bottom four of the above image.

Here is today's inspiration. 

The colour palette for this card is the inspired by a piece of textiles that caught my eye. 3 of the colours are from the upcoming 2025-2027 In-Color collection.  Called Timid Tiger,  Darling Duckling and a returning In-Color Strawberry Slush these three work so well together and were a great match along with shaded spruce add petal pink for the colours on the material. 

The wishing part of the sentiment is die cut from the coordinating Delightful Wishes dies. The die cut strawberry slush panel is dry embossed using the Mini corrugated 3d embossing folder . Just place your cardstock in the folder at an angle to get the diagonal ridges. 

Here is a short video sharing how I put them stamps together to make the forsythia image up.
