Combining Washi Tape & Ink Blending for Easy, Elegant Cards | Rachel Alvarado

Hello friends! It's Rachel here with a simple but elegant card featuring the gorgeous new Blooming Daydream product suite from the Daydream Edit release.

The Pinkfresh Studio floral washi tape products are stunning and super easy to use!  I love using the pre-colored washi tapes because they take all the guesswork out of color coordinating — the perfect palette is already chosen for you.

How to recreate this card:

1.  Trim a piece of light pink card stock and lightly blend it with some Cherry Blossom Ink starting at the lower right corner and work your way diagonally toward the mid to top left section of the card stock, leaving the top left corner without added ink.

2. Layer this piece onto a top-folding A2 sized card base by trimming a piece of card stock (I used 80lb white card stock) to 4.25" x 11" and scoring it at 5.5" along the 11" side.

3.  Die cut a white rectangular scalloped frame from white card stock using the larger die in the  Essentials: Stitched Scallop Rectangles Die Set. 

4.  Attach the scalloped rectangle to the front of the card base with 3D adhesive tape for a pop of dimension.

5.  Adhere the Blooming Daydream Washi Tape to 80-100lb. white card stock and cut the florals out with the coordinating Blooming Daydream die set. 

6.  Add the images to the card front with more 3D foam adhesive tape.

7.  Heat emboss the sentiment from the Blooming Daydream Stamp Set onto a strip of black card stock with Fine Detail White Embossing Powder and cut it out using the coordinating sentiment die.

8. Attach the sentiment to the top right corner of the card.

9.  Add a few embellishments for some added interest and texture.  I used some Clear Iridescent Drops.

I hope you enjoyed my card today and give this gorgeous new release a closer look!  I would love to see what you create!  Make sure to tag us on Instagram with your personal creations using these products!
