How to Create a BEAUTIFUL Floral Background into 3 Cards + Video!

Have you ever created your own stamped background? Today I did just that, and I have 3 card ideas to share!

I am so excited to be Guest Designer for Catherine Pooler this month. And I was even more excited when I saw the beautiful floral stamps…. do you think that they know about my floral stamp addiction lol!

Today’s technique is a fun one. I created my very own background pattern using the Fresh Picked Floral Stamp Set.

I simply stamped my own pattern which I watercoloured with Catherine Pooler Inks.

It was easy to make this into a panel for my card design.

And I used the Mothers & Daughters Stamp Set which has some gorgeous sentiments!

My second design uses the ‘centre’ from the first card.

And another simple sentment from the Mothers & Daughters Stamp Set.

My final card uses my background in a different way. I die cut the Just Mom Word Die from the pattern.

But I needed to change it up to suit the ‘English’ spelling and you can see how I did that in the video linked below.

I think this one is my fave…..

  1. Gorgeous! And I love the ways you incorporated your background into 3 different cards

  2. I love the loose watercolor on the background! You created perfect layouts for the cards. That’s always the hardest part for me.

  3. The watercolour paper colour looks great – didn’t need painting. So clever changing the word die!

  4. I’d bet you a tenner that you couldn’t pick my favorite! wait… forget that. you know me SO well!
    Gorgeous patterned paper you’ve created, Therese – these are all three so wonderful!

  5. Therese
    What a lovely trio of cards.
    Great designs and your handmade design paper is so beautiful.
    Can’t wait to catch the video.
    Cheers

  6. Absolutely beautiful cards Therese. Love the English/Australian English Mum. That’s my favourite card, but the two others are very pretty with a vintage look. I’d be very happy if I’d just created them😘😘😘

  7. Do you think you could do a complete wall in my house with this beautiful floral stamp. The water colouring is amazing and adds an air of nostalgia for me. All of your cards are fabulous but the third is a favourite.

  8. So beautiful but makes me sad. I lost my mom a few years back and I still miss her.

  9. Really pretty background you created with the loose water coloring. They are all my favorites!
