Stamp Trio: Hennah Paper

This is the second entry in my Stamp Trio challenge, using Altenew's Hennah Elements. For the second card, I decided to use paper piecing and go with a more vintage feel. The flowers in the stampset are perfect for the paper piecing technique, as they're both large and simple.

I started by stamping the two large flowers on some blue patterned paper. I stamped the 3 smaller flowers onto some more detailed cream patterned paper. After cutting them out with my scissors, I used my foam blending tool to ink the edges with a bit of distress ink (Salty Ocean for the blue flowers and Vintage Photo for the cream). After this, I filled in some ovals near the small flower centers with white gel pen to create a little more contrast. I adhered two of the cream flowers to the centers of the blue flowers.

I cut a piece of MFT's Primitive Cream cardstock to measure 4 by 5 1/4". While I had my paper cutter, I also cut a piece of Neenah Desert Storm cardstock in half to create a top-folding A2 card.

After deciding where to position the flowers, I stamped a few of the flower vines around the card front in Soft Suede brown ink. I also stamped the small thanks sentiment from the Hennah stamp set.

I adhered the cream panel to the card front, then adhered one of the blue flowers straight onto the panel with tape adhesive. I layered the second flower with foam squares, then added the last small flower to the top.
