Friendship's Sweetest Thoughts Flower Wagon Card Idea
March 09, 2018
I love this cute flower cart stamp image in the Friendship's Sweetest Thoughts stamp set! I stamped it with Memento Black ink on Whisper White cardstock and colored it with a combination of Stampin' Blends markers and a couple of regular Stampin' Write markers, since I also wanted Real Red and Lemon Lime Twist and they are not available in Stampin' Blends. (HOPING to see them in the next catalog.. wouldn't that be awesome to have MORE colors!!!) :)
This totally adorable, springy stamp set called Friendship's Sweetest Thoughts is on page 34 of the 2018 Stampin' Up! Occasions catalog, or HERE online for Clear Mount and HERE online for Wood Mount. I also added the stamped bunny and greeting from the stamp set called "A Good Day", found on pg 17 in the Occasions catalog (see all products used to create this card at the bottom of this blog post - click any product photo to shop in my online store).
As I was finishing up this card, I was trying to decide which ribbon I wanted to use.. the WOW, it hit me.. color some of the white metallic edge ribbon with the Dark Pool Party Stampin' Blends marker!! What a great match!
Above: the Stampin' Blends and Stampin' Write markers I used to color this flower cart and bunny.
Above: notice how the awning on the flower cart is raised? I stamped the flower cart twice, then colored and cut out the awning and added it with Stampin' Dimensionals over the stamped image on the card. I also cut out some of the extra flowers and leaves and added them to the card as well. I colored with a Blender Pen and Lemon Lime Twist ink in between the flowers/leaves so that it wouldn't just be stark white. The last little sweet addition to the card was to put a pearl in the center of each flower :) :)
The greeting from "A Good Day" stamp set is stamped in Bermuda Bay ink and punched out with the "Classic Label" punch. The Mini Stampin' Dimensionals are the perfect size for raising this punched image!
The background of this card features an embossing paste/stencil background. To see my Video Tutorial for creating the background CLICK HERE.

I really like your card! The card is colorful and cute, and the ribbon is awesome. Since you mentioned additional blender colors, I was wondering if there are going to be more watercolor pencil colors? There is a kit in the Occasions catalog that has 4 watercolor pencils included; however, 2 are in the original set and 2 are not. I will just wait for the new catalog. Thank you for all your help.

Such a beautiful card, love how you used the stencil and paste to create the background. Thanks so much for your time and help with tips and ideas. Just a hobby stamper but love your blog and all the attention you give to sharing and instructions.
May your weekend be joy filled.

What an absolutely darling card!! I love that little cart, but adding the little bunny just makes it over the top sweet. Love how you added pearls to the center of each flower, it really adds some great texture. Some lucky friend is going to get a real treasure in their mailbox! :)
