Hi, friends! Christina here to share a vibrant card design showcasing the gorgeous Block Print Passion Fruit Flower dies. These blooms are big and make such an impact all on their own that not much more is needed to create a beautiful card that could be used for any occasion.
To create this vibrant design, I ink blended the Passion Fruit Flower die cuts in bold, bright colors and paired them with a simple background made with multiple Ornamental Branch die cuts. Follow along below as I explain the steps I took to create this card.
My first step was to die cut, ink, and assemble all the elements for the passion fruit flowers. I die cut everything from white cardstock and then applied ink to each piece with blending brushes. I used Pawsitively Saturated Inks and chose three shades of pink and three shades of purple for the blooms. I wanted a light, medium, and dark shade for both colorways. I left one of the center layering pieces white and then inked the center stamen pieces yellow before coloring the very tips with a black Copic marker. I used a medium green shade for the stems and then moved on to assembling the die cuts. I assembled and secured the flowers using glue for all the layers except the last bottom petal, which I secured with foam squares for extra dimension.
Next I created the background. I die cut the ornamental branch four times and inked each one using a light green ink. I arranged them on a white A2 cardstock panel, cutting them and turning them to fill the panel before gluing them in place. I trimmed anything that overhung the edges of the panel with large shears. Then I spattered the panel with a coordinating Distress Mica Stain, Frosty Mint.
With the background and the flowers completed, I moved on to assembling and finishing the card design. First I attached the flowers with glue. Next, I added a greeting and sentiment. I die cut the Hello greeting from black cardstock twice and stacked them before attaching it to my card design with glue. I heat embossed the small sentiment with white embossing powder on black cardstock and die cut it with a sentiment strip before attaching it under the greeting. Lastly, I added a few black gems across the background panel before attaching everything to an A2 card base.
Thank you so much for reading about this vibrant card design showcasing the gorgeous Block Print Passion Fruit Flower dies. I hope you’re inspired to try inking some die cuts for your next card design. See you soon!
