Hey, it's Jordan here from Jordan's Easy Entertaining. I hope your month of June has been off to a wonderful start.  

We've had an unusual amount of rain where I live, and my backyard is blooming with flowers, which inspired today's card. One of my FAVORITE stamp sets that I own is from the Delicate Garden Craft Your Life Project Kit by Altenew which also includes coordinating stencils and dies.

I started my card out by stamping all 3 of the images I was going to use on this project with my MISTI stamping tool and some Altenew Obsidian Pigment Ink.

Then I used the coordinating stencils along with some ink and blending brushes to add some color to my flowers.

Once all of my flowers were colored, I used my Spellbinders Platinum 6 machine and the Delicate Garden dies to cut out each image.

I really liked the 2 shades of green I used on the stems and leaves of my flowers, so I decided to ink blend my background card panel with those colors as well.

After I die cut my sentiment which says, "thank you", I used my Precision Glue Press to combine the 2 pieces together.

I played around a bit with the placement of my flowers before making a final decision. Once I placed them and glued them down, I cut off the pieces that hung off of my card.

Once again, I used my Precision Glue Press to also add my sentiment and a few flat backed gems and adhered my panel to an A2 sized card.

And my final step as with all of my cards, I used my MISTI LITE and Petunia Platform to stamp "made by Jordan Hansen" on the back.

What do you think? Does this feel like a blooming garden to you? 

Thanks for joining me for this card tutorial and I hope you have a wonderful day!
